  • AUDIOVISUAL and CHILL: an Evaluation of Video Digital Libraries
    AUDIOVISUAL and CHILL: An Evaluation of Video Digital Libraries and Catalogues by TIMOTHY DEAN GORDON Submitted to the School of Information Management Victoria University of Wellington in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Information Studies JUNE 2016 Acknowledgements Thank-you to my supervisorDr. Brenda Chawner for trusting and guiding me to this conclusion. Also to The University of Auckland Library and to my colleagues for their support throughout this endeavour. To the late Professor Robert Chapman CMG: psephologist, poet, and collector. And to the rest, but especially M.D.B., A.C., N.C., P.D., J.G., A.L., D.M., C.T., & ‘UoA Balmoral’ for continually providing motivation and supporting my aspirations—always grateful. ii Abstract Research Problem This research investigates how well video digital libraries and catalogues used in academic libraries meet user expectations. This is in the context of increasing use and demand for online audiovisual content by the wider community, as well as growing use of audiovisual materials for teaching, learning, and research at academic institutions. It also aims to give an understanding of how well libraries are meeting the challenges of delivering audiovisual materials to users in an on-demand world. Methodology Twelve platforms—developed between 1996 and 2015—are evaluated against 23 user-centred criteria, divided into four core areas: retrieval functionality, user interface, collection qualities, and user support. Results The study found that not one of the platforms evaluated met all the evaluation criteria, and identified three key areas in the usability of thevideo digital libraries and catalogues: search and retrieval, technology, and structure, scope, and strategy.

  • The Education Market for Documentary Film: Digital Shifts in an Age of Content Abundance
    Title Page THE EDUCATION MARKET FOR DOCUMENTARY FILM: DIGITAL SHIFTS IN AN AGE OF CONTENT ABUNDANCE Ruari Baroona Elkington Bachelor of Fine Arts (Hons) Film & Television Film, Screen and Animation, School of Media, Entertainment and Creative Arts, Creative Industries Faculty, Queensland University of Technology Thesis submitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) Supervised by Dr. Sean Maher (Principal) Film, Screen and Animation, School of Media, Entertainment and Creative Arts, Creative Industries Faculty, Queensland University of Technology Distinguished Prof. Stuart Cunningham (Associate) ARC Centre of Excellence for Creative Industries & Innovation, Creative Industries Faculty, Queensland University of Technology 2016 1 Keywords Screen Industry Analysis, Film Distribution, Screen Distribution, Distribution Studies, Documentary, Australian Documentary, Education Market, Cineliteracy, Film Literacy Statement of original authorship The work contained in this thesis has not previously been submitted to meet requirements for an award at this or any other higher education institution. To the best of my knowledge and belief, the thesis contains no material previously published or written by another person except where due reference is made. Signature: QUT Verified Signature Date: August 2016 2 Abstract The education sector in Australia has proven both a beneficiary of documentary practice as well as a valuable ancillary market for documentary producers and distributors. Digital distribution and access have contributed to unparalleled levels of choice for educators around the documentary content they can deploy in their teaching. However, scarce scholarly work exists on how educators are navigating this new abundance of digital content and to what extent this new variety and volume of documentary may be assisting the sustainability of the documentary sector within the attention economy.

  • No More Cable
    NO MORE CABLE How to save money and switch from traditional cable to streaming services Disclaimer: • Mentor Public Library and its staff does not endorse or recommend any of the products mentioned within this presentation. • Mentor Public Library is presenting options and suggestions, but you are encouraged to research the best option for your situation. • The services mentioned here are plentiful, but not inclusive of all options available. • Prices mentioned are as of September 2020 and reflect the most basic option for each service. Glossary of Terms Used in Relation to Streaming: • HDMI: High definition multimedia interface. This often refers to both the cord and the port. An HDMI cord is required to connect most media players to your TV via an HDMI port. HDMI ports come standard on TVs, but it varies how many ports are available. This cord takes the place of the old “red, white, yellow” cords that were previously standard connections. • Ethernet: This is a cord/port that connects your TV or computer directly to your internet source. These are less common on new TVs. • Device: Refers to a computer, tablet, or HDMI connecting streaming unit • DVR: Digital video recording—allows users to “record” shows/movies and watch later. • Smart TV: A TV that has built in internet connectivity and streaming player options. It is often set up in a similar way to a tablet, allowing you to download “apps” for streaming. Your TV itself connects to the internet via Wi-Fi to allow you to access online streaming, without the need of an external player.
