Getting started with Streaming Video

I do not have cable. There. I said it. Like many Millennials, I have grown up with the convenience wonder that is simply logging on to the Internet and being able to watch almost anything I'd like. This instant gratification is an amazing thing, and the phenomenon of watching TV online isn't just a temporary fascination, either. I was clued into this when my father started sending me YouTube videos of water-powered jetpack stunts. However, there are times when I would like to actually sit down and watch a film that doesn't have to do with cats (no offense to cats intended). I want to do yoga in the quiet of my own room without having to slog a mat through the snowy, Cleveland streets. Even more so, I want to be able to get Streaming Video from my local library. Why? Because that's why it's there. The library is just as much about discovery as the Internet is, but without the disconnect and lack of human element. OverDrive's Streaming Video is the perfect marriage of the great library service your patrons expect and the convenience of finding great material whenever, wherever. Our Collection Development team has streamlined (pun intended) the process of getting started. Simply pick some awesome titles from our ever-growing catalog, or to make things super easy, try our Streaming Video Starter Kit – a hand-curated list of our favorites. If you would like additional collection lists, email your Collection Development specialist. Once you submit your order, your Account Specialist will be in touch about updating your site to support the Streaming Video for your users. Check it out! Because, you know, you can do that now – in your pajamas. Just like I will be. Kate Seivertson is a Collection Development Analyst at OverDrive.
