Media Center offers access to a free Netflix DVD rental service

* Netflix for Instruction*

The Media Center is pleased to offer UW instructors access to a free Netflix DVD rental service. This service will augment our permanent collections by offering access to titles we do not currently own, faster access to popular titles we do own, and the opportunity to preview titles before requesting they be purchased by the Libraries. Information on how to use the service is available here: http://www.lib.washington.edu/media/netflix.html This is a pilot project and will be evaluated at the end of the Fall 2007.


* Films on Demand*

The Media Center is gauging interest in FMG On Demand, a streaming video subscription service. Instructors have over 4,000 streaming titles to choose from, most of which are produced by Films for the Humanities and Social Sciences (FHSS). To browse by subject or view a list of available films go here: http://tinyurl.com/3desgn We are asking instructors to send their initial list of requested titles by October 15, 2007, to vallier@u.washington.edu. Based on this feedback, we will decide whether or not to move forward with the project. To view a list of FHSS titles already held by the UW Libraries, click here: http://tinyurl.com/ytcsvs
