Hello Christina,
We recently established a Streaming Media Task Force, of which I am a member, to look at these very issues. I would be interested in hearing what you find out.
Thank you,

Subject: [ACQNET-L] Policies about purchasing streaming videos
Seeking collective wisdom.
We are beginning to receive requests for specific films on various paid streaming platforms from faculty by way of our online learning office. When it was just one request, we were happy to facilitate the purchase and the technical details, but before the requests begin to pile up, we want to establish some specific policies, or at least guidelines, about who handles the purchasing and the licensing, about what terms of use are acceptable including length of time we have access to the film and accessibility issues, about who is responsible for paying for the media and who is responsible for deciding which films get purchased.
Obviously (to us) this conversation will need to include the online learning office and other library departments beside acquisitions and electronic resources. What have other libraries done about these decisions? Do you have any written policies that you could share?
Thank you in advance for your time.
