Abstract
Streaming videos are an increasingly popular teaching tool in higher education. However, the cost of streaming videos for libraries is unsustainable. This presentation is going to compare the cost of continual streaming video purchases against the cost of e-book purchases as a percentage of the Stony Brook University Libraries’ budget.
