Abstract

In less than 10 years the availability of digitally converted or born digital video, has grown exponentially. Libraries and librarians are constantly navigating, and helping their patrons navigate, this shift from analog to digital. For access to video, our libraries are challenged by an individual consumer marketplace, where institutional access is often limited and expensive. Due to limitations of streaming content, licensing and copyright issues for use in learning management systems and public performance screenings, and time and budgetary issues surrounding the conversion of analog to digital formats, public and educational institutions are still very reliant on physical formats. Patron demand is changing and we have to look elsewhere than our collections to find the online video resources they need. For individuals, online and streaming video has saturated the consumer market for popular television shows, movies, but the market is very fragmented and competitive. This report will cover many resources available for free and fee with a focus on online resources available for library instruction, research education and assistance, and curriculum use. In addition to providing a substantial list of resources, I will also cover tips and tricks to navigating the Internet for visual resources. The scope of this report will be mostly on consumption; the search, viewing, sharing, and embedment of using online video in teaching, learning, and research activities. The report will be very limited on the creation of online video, copyright and licensing issues, but some suggested best practices and resources will be included in the report to lead readers to the appropriate experts.
