Why not?  How satisfied are you with you with the catalog records / meta data provided by vendors? OBSERVATIONS  Streaming video has become a common vehicle for content delivery in academic libraries.  Regardless of Carnegie classification libraries have primary funding, operational, and decision-making roles in providing streaming video content to their institution.  Libraries prefer, and for the most part provide, title level access to streaming videos in their collections.  BUT, video remains an outlier in the day-to-day treatment of content in academic libraries.  Catalog records for streaming videos depend largely on vendors providing the records or metadata.  There is no dominant model for acquisition of streaming videos. Subscription plans appear to be emerging as the dominant approach.  Librarians are largely unaware of the technological infrastructure used to serve streaming video.  Staffing needs for managing streaming videos appears to be low, but many libraries do not know what the actual staffing commitment is.  Librarians employ multiple approaches to meet the challenges streaming video presents regarding copyright.
