We also subscribe and like it. I echo the feelings already expressed in wishing more of the full catalog was available, but we subscribed specifically on the request of faculty who wished to expand the streaming offerings for video art and underrepresented video artists. Everyone seems happy with it.
Jessica Evans Brady replied to the topic Anyone using EAI Streaming media service? in the discussion ARLIS/NA Academic Library Division on ARLISNA Commons 3 years, 3 months ago

We subscribe also and are happy with it. There is a lot of content that isn’t available elsewhere and I also love the related archival documents and resources that are often included alongside the videos. My only complaint is that the site navigation takes a little getting used to and it’s easy to end up searching the full catalog vs what is ava…[Read more]

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]

Hi Cindy — We subscribe to EAI Educational Streaming. I have been pretty pleased with the product. It’s easy to use and the cost is pretty affordable especially compared to other resources. One thing to keep in mind is that the Educational Streaming Service does not include EVERY EAI title. There have been several titles we have had to license…[Read more]

Hello. I have had a request to subscribe to the EAI Educational Streaming Service. Does anyone else subscribe? IF so, is it easy to use? I have an inquiry about costs into the company, but I would love to hear from other users.

Thanks,

Dear ARLIS community,

Are you a student who has written a paper that you’re especially proud of, and you want the opportunity to share it with the wider ARLIS Community AND get a $500 prize plus a scholarship to attend the upcoming conference?

Or maybe you’ve got an internship in an art library planned for next year, and you’d like to get paid…[Read more]
