Abstract

The usage of streaming videos at The Ohio State University is examined, focusing on the University Libraries’ multi-subject vendors Alexander Street, Films on Demand, and Kanopy. Videos with at least one view per month (amount viewed not considered) are examined and assigned disciplines (Arts, Humanities, Sciences, Social Sciences, or Multi) and subjects (one out of over 100 options). The usage of the videos within the context of these disciplines and subjects is then examined for overall and average use. Finds from this indicate volume of titles being higher for some subject areas but with higher average use for other subjects, pointing to differences in the way in which instructors may be using content. These different usage patterns indicate implications for those dealing with collections and instruction aspects of streaming videos.

摘要

研究了俄亥俄州立大学流媒体视频的使用情况，重点关注大学图书馆的多主题供应商 Alexander Street、Films on Demand 和 Kanopy。每月至少观看一次（不考虑观看次数）的视频将被检查并分配学科（艺术、人文、科学、社会科学或多学科）和科目（100 多个选项中的一个）。然后检查视频在这些学科和主题的背景下的使用情况，以了解总体使用情况和平均使用情况。由此发现，某些学科领域的标题数量较高，但其他学科的平均使用率较高，这表明教师使用内容的方式可能存在差异。这些不同的使用模式表明对那些处理流媒体视频的集合和指令方面的人的影响。
