- Kaltura is the new audio/video streaming platform service being deployed campus-wide by CIT, with customized implementations for CUL, Blackboard, Lab of O, and Cornell Cast. Danielle, Jason, and Jim Reidy are leading CUL's development of Kaltura, focusing on three key development efforts: collection building; staff access with possible centralized, front-end "media-space" for dissemination; and E-Commons integration. Development efforts to date have been slow, but spring should bring focus to the CUL deployment. Look out for upcoming presentations on Kaltura, including one during Career Development week in March. Jason shared the results of the Audio/Video Survey sent out to cu-lib: In December 2011 - January 2012, the VRWG conducted a survey of a/v needs in the Cornell University Library system. CUL owns a substantial amount of analog and digital media holdings; including archival, commercial and in-house created assets. Common needs stated are: aggregated platforms for access, archiving and editing digital media; funds and staffing to digitize analog recordings; purchase and maintenance of analog equipment; creation of a repository for 'digital prototyping' and CADD/Form Z output; and more. The VRWG plans to analyze these needs to assess our place in facilitating services.
