More Vendors Help Libraries Stream Video


Since the beginning of 2013, four major library vendors have announced the launch of new or expanded streaming services that will enable patrons to view movies and television shows at their library or at home using computers, tablets,smart TVs, or any device equipped with a web browser.
Most recently, Library Ideas debuted its new Freegal Movies and Television service at the 2013 American Library Association (ALA) Annual conference in Chicago. Formal announcements regarding whose content Freegal will stream are still pending, but three major studios are involved. The service will go live this month with access to 1,100 feature films and 2,500 television episodes, according to Library Ideas co-founder Brian Downing.
