Re: diglib: Virage project

Carol, Diglib et al.:

Thanks for passing this along. Another streaming media project is an online 
archive of "UO Today" talk shows, produced for cable TV by the Libraries & 
the Oregon Humanities Center. The programs are prominently linked from the 
Humanities Center website at http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~humanctr/, & 
people are finding them and giving the OHC excellent feedback.

BTW, we are trying hard to move away from use of "Virage" as a name for the 
streaming media service. The Virage brand may be evaporating due to mergers 
& acquisitions, & furthermore this software is only one of several tools 
used in the overall program.

Best,

Andrew
