NJVid - A Statewide Video-on-Demand Repository

drupal — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 11:38:31 -0600

The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) has awarded a 3-year grant for nearly a million dollars to a partnership between William Paterson University, Rutgers University Libraries and NJEDge.Net to develop and deploy a statewide academic video-on-demand repository. The digital video repository (Fedora Commons-based) will he housed in the core of the NJEDge network and will provide "lectures-on-demand", licensed commercial videos, and locally owned videos. A Video Commons collection will be publically available including history, lectures from notables, and video documenting research and scientific advances. NJVid is notable for providing a statewide video strategy to accommodate any type of organization-higher education, K12, public libraries, museums and archives. A substantial part of this project will provide the resources to develop a statewide Shibboleth-based Identity management infrastructure, supporting statewide network authentication and authorization that can be used for many content resources. This presentation will describe the open source architecture and middleware applications that are under development. Much effort will be expended for an extensible approach that can be implemented by other statewide or consortial video initiatives.

The ResearchChannel is an intellectual community that acts as a technology test bed and innovator for new methods to globally distribute scholarly research. Network, computing, and content-creation collaborations allow participants to make the most of traditional, new, and emerging technologies. New technologies are essential for enhancing research, reaching a wider audience, and providing alternative, high-speed exchanges of video resources. Through partnerships and collaborations with other academic and research institutions, the ResearchChannel creates accessible, high-quality video resources for use within scientific communities. This session will also include a briefing regarding efforts to improve access to federally funded research by Clifford Lynch from CNI.
