Overall, streaming video is the new desirable format for video content, and it is in high demand, not only for personal entertainment, but for educational purposes. Students are used to not only being entertained but also educated via this format, especially distance education students, and have come to expect videos as a part of their curriculum. Professors who are keeping up with these changes in viewing content need the support of librarians in order to provide the best content for their students. Staying informed about the new popular formats and considering these factors when purchasing streaming videos can help in decision-making when purchasing these resources for campus communities.
