CMLE

Member questions: Do you want videos through CMLE?

We have an opportunity to start providing streaming video services K-12 schools, public libraries, and academic libraries can use for patrons, teachers, and faculty. Members would pay us, then have streaming access to high quality videos, lessons, and ideas that can be used in classes, downloaded, and enjoyed.

No commitments right now, but we want to get an idea if this is something our members might want to subscribe to through CMLE.

Without making a commitment now – does this sound like something you want, and can pay potentially a few hundred dollars a year to use for your whole organization? (We don’t have an exact price right now; but we would be working to keep costs down for members and it would probably be about $700/per year.)
