Preservation and discovery service helps libraries respond to video demands


Libraries and universities with proprietary audio and video collections can now preserve and provide access to these information resources through a new service from ProQuest. ProQuest Video Preservation and Discovery Service (VPDS) is described as a continuum of services designed to make fully discoverable the video and audio content to which the library has rights. These services include digital conversion, transcription, metadata creation, and optional hosting and streaming. VPDS


creates transcriptions and indexes A/V content stored on tapes, hard drives, and other media, making high-demand content easily accessible through library discovery channels. All formats of video are eligible for the service. ‘There’s growing demand by users for multimedia research content and libraries have it. However, it’s highly siloed and scattered,’ explained Jane Burke, ProQuest vice-president, strategic initiatives. www.proquest.com
