Preserve Video Content for Future Generations
Video content in VHS and range of older formats is subject to rapid degradation and deterioration even under optimal storage conditions. Equipment needed to offer access to content is getting harder to find and repair. Effective conversion preserves content that shows what is unique and distinctive about your institution and adds future value for research and teaching.
Control Dissemination or Make Rich Video Content Available to Support Research at Your Institution and Beyond
Rights management capabilities mean that your library will be able to control the extent of dissemination for any video content that is hosted by ProQuest. At the same time, videos, metadata, and files will be made available so that your institution can maximize exposure through additional channels or to offer open access if desired.
