This is the same decision that we came to at Lincoln Public Schools 
(57 locations, Horizon 7.3.2, HIP 3.04). It just made more sense to 
us.

You can find our LPS VOD Library here:

(Note: since our VOD resources are behind our firewall due to 
contractual obligations, those of you outside of our district will 
not be able to actually watch the videos.)

David, I do have two questions-

1.) I note that you have "naked" url's (my term for lack of a better 
one) showing up on your results list. We were able to utilize the "z" 
subfield of the 856 tag:


So that the only thing that shows up in the hyperlink that the user 
sees is "Click here to view":

A small point, perhaps, because a cursor hover will show the true url 
in the browser, but I was just wondering why you decided to do it 
without using the "z" subfield.

2.) The second question might cause more concern. I notice that you 
have subscription services (UnitedStreaming and PowerMediaPlus among 
others) listed. Would their "naked" url's cause them concern? In 
addition, I notice that while your UnitedStreaming links challenge 
for username and password, your PowerMediaPlus links do not. Would 
PowerMediaPlus view this as an infringement issue?

Thanks- good weekend to all!
