When the library added thousands of steaming video titles to the college in September 2010, there were chronic slowdowns when playing these videos on campus, especially during heavy use time. Use in the classroom was problematic. (There was never a problem of access from off campus.) Now that IT has doubled internet connection capacity from 20 Mbps to 40 Mbps, the problem of slowdowns appears to have ended. Library staff have checked accessibility at all times of the day. You should now feel safe in showing a streaming video or video clip in a classroom where there is adequate hardware hookup without fear. Inform library staff if you have any problems, stating room number and time of occurrence.
