Alexander Street Press (ASP) has been rapidly growing streaming media collections and is releasing three major new video products for libraries in early 2011. Some of these may work for us.
ASP has just acquired Filmakers Library, the highly regarded New York-based distributor of documentary films. For 40 years, Filmmakers Library has distributed high-quality, issue-based documentaries to the academic market. ASP plans to launch the complete Filmakers Library as a subscription-based online streaming database, Filmakers Library Online, in early 2011. The publisher will also make it possible for libraries and educational institutions to order individual films via the ASP streaming platform.
Education in Video is the first online collection of streaming video developed specifically for the training and development of teachers. More than 1,000 video titles totaling 750+ hours of teaching demonstrations, lectures, documentaries, and primary-source footage of students and teachers in actual classrooms.
World History in Video is an online collection of 1,750 global documentaries covering everything from early civilizations to the fall of the Berlin Wall. Many of the critically acclaimed documentaries from filmmakers worldwide are the most used today in university-level classes.

I think The Filmakers Library offers a variety of documentaries that would enhance some of the research students are doing. This is especially true for argumentative and social science research papers.
Education in Video may be helpful for the ECE department. I think subscribing to this media collection would have to be cost effective and useful for a number of different instructors. Can students watch these films individually?
