Introduction
The audio/video streaming services can be used many ways to promote the University's missions of instruction, research, and public service. The services will evolve with changes in technical directions of streaming media. Currently, the services involve the three popular streaming formats of Real Networks, Windows Media, and Quicktime.
Appropriate Use Statement
Appropriate uses of these streaming media services include, but are not limited to, aiding in access to instruction, research, major events, library collections, and training. The "owners" of the streamed resources are responsible for adherence to copyright laws and any applicable licensing terms. For the purposes of this policy, the term "owners" refers to the persons or organizations of record within the University who are responsible for the content of a streamed resource (they may have created the content, they may have simply provided it, or they may have arranged for its recording from live events, for example).
Who Can Access the Streamed Resources
The access policy for each streamed resource is controlled by its owner. Subject to individual access policies tailored for each resource and enforced by the streaming servers, anyone in the world can access these resources as long as they have an appropriately configured player.
Who Can Put Their Content on the Servers
The following entities may use this service to provide streamed content and are classified as "owners" of the streamed resource:
- departments or units that are official parts of the University's structure
- University faculty and staff
- University students with faculty sponsorship
