William Paterson University (William Paterson University, David and Lorraine Cheng Library)

William Paterson University’s NJVid project will create and test a statewide digital video repository and portal with tools and services, providing “lectures on demand,” licensed commercial videos, and locally owned videos for use by members of the partner collaboratives. Three major consortia representing most educational information organizations throughout the state—VALE (Virtual Academic Library Environment); New Jersey Digital Highway, the statewide cultural heritage consortium; and NJEdge.Net, the statewide Internet2 networking consortium—will incorporate and extend their video resources and services in this strategic initiative. William Paterson University, Rutgers University, and eight other institutions—including universities, community colleges, a high school, a county public library system, and a museum—will serve as initial testers of this model integrated resource.
