Hey Quentin – Unless you’re asking about archiving video that’s been posted on the web, your question doesn’t really fit in here. However, do check out the resources on XFR Collective’s site: https://xfrcollective.wordpress.com/resources/ The NEDCC also provides some guidance on video preservation:…[Read more]

Thanks to everyone who attended. We are looking…[Read more]

I like the “Where are My People?” series from ACSA. They have one on Native American, First Nations, and Indigenous. I’ve used these with students in conversation about professional practice.

@gianaricci @jillchisnell Thank you. this info is very helpful, including knowing that not all the titles are available right now.

Hi Cindy, we also subscribe to EAI Educational Streaming at NYU Libraries. The students are always very excited when I demo it during instruction sessions. In my opinion, it is very easy to use. Only streaming access though, no download capabilities, which is understandable. I’ll echo Jill and say the only drawback is that it doesn’t contain all…[Read more]
