Research@UWW will you tell if the Library's copy of a DVD or VHS has public performance rights or streaming rights. Check the Details tab of the record to find a note that says, "Library has public performance rights. Check with librarian for details."
Even though the faculty member is ultimately responsible for finding a video they deem suitable for their courses, Andersen Library is here to help as much as we can. The library already subscribes to multiple resources that offer a variety of streaming videos that will meet many faculty needs, but we recognize it is impossible for those resources to cover everything that is desired.
In the case that faculty find a resource that is only available outside of our already subscribed resources, the library will share the cost whether it is a limited term license or towards the purchase of perpetual life-of-video streaming rights access.
Beginning in FY2022, the funding model for streaming films will be
Any video requested after the department's library allocation is exceeded will require the appropriate funding Org Code along with the Department Chair approval.
All videos that are acquired through Andersen Library must be accessible to all students and will be included in the library catalog for search and access. Please reach out to your Librarian liaison if you have any questions or use the Request Media (including streaming) form to place your request.
Remember: Just because something is available as a Streaming resource does NOT mean it is available for Public Performance. Those require separate rights and are an additional cost.
