| Digital Video Licensing Discussion Forum |
|
Before the National Media Market in September of 2008, librarians, media professionals and distributors from across the country met at the Griffin Gate Marriott Resort in Lexington, KY .The primary goal of this meeting was to define and discuss the nature and range of models for licensing digital video on demand. The meeting focused on exploring the present and future feasibility of various models in diverse institutional settings, as well as identifying the advantages of disadvantages of each for both distributors and librarians.
As preparation for this meeting, a white paper was developed in an attempt to outline some of the central issues and challenges currently at hand. The Digital Video Licensing White Paper has been posted at the National Media Market site (NMM.net). As a follow up to the meeting the comments and observations have been gathered on the NMM VoD BLOG.
