Word on the Street

Alexander Street in Information Today

Earlier this month, at the ALA Midwinter meeting, Information Today caught up with us! They talked to us about some of our most exciting recent developments and what we've got in store for 2011. Check out what they had to say: Streaming Video and Music Developments at Alexander Street Press.

We've joined forces with Filmakers Library!

Filmakers Library has been bringing high-quality, issue-based documentaries to the education market for more than forty years. Some of its award-winning titles include Original Intent: The Battle for America; Who Killed Vincent Chin?; Prison Lullabies; The Danish Solution: The Rescue of the Jews in Denmark; and Muslims in Love. And earlier this month, we made an exciting announcement: Alexander Street has acquired Filmakers Library.

A little later this year, we'll be bringing you their entire library as a subscription-based streaming video database called Filmakers Library Online, and making it possible for libraries to order and instantly stream individual Filmakers Library films.

For more information, check out the full press release here.
