Netflix and the re-invention of television
\"This book deals with the various ways Netflix reconceptualises television as part of the process of TV IV. As television continues to undergo a myriad of significant changes, Netflix has proven itself to be the dominant force in this development, simultaneously driving a number of these changes and challenging television's existing institutional structures. This comprehensive study explores the pre-history of Netflix, the role of binge-watching in its organisation and marketing, and Netflix's position as a transnational broadcaster. It also examines different concepts of control and the role these play in the history of ancillary technologies, from the remote control to binge-watching as Netflix's iteration of giving control to the viewers. By focusing on Netflix's relationship with the linear television schedule, its negotiations of quality and marketing, as well as the way Netflix integrates into national media systems, Netflix and the Re-invention of Television illuminates the importance of Netflix's role within the processes of TV IV.\"-- Provided by publisher.

\REALITY\ ON DEMAND: HOW STREAMING MEDIA SERVICES INFLUENCE THE STRUCTURE OF SEMANTIC REACTIONS
Drogowska discusses how streaming media services influence the structure of semantic reactions. She recognizes semantic reactions as the most suitable framing because, following Alfred Korzybski's orientations, she assumes that the way we evaluate and the consciousness of that process are the core components of \"reality,\" of the way they define objects on an unspeakable level, the way they abstract, the way we perceive, using Batesonian terms, pattern that connects and difference that makes a difference. Referring to \"reality,\" I use quotation marks to emphasize the inadequacy of the term, considering both its Aristotelian bias and its meaning in the context of the television genre. These shows are designed to attract a specific audience through their visual appeal, plot, and characters, who may be perceived as \"one of us.\" She is convinced that today's \"reality,\" as a multiordinal term, is more deeply rooted in the context we create by blending physical objects with stories told on demand via portable and TV screens.

Enhancing Remote University English Teaching Through Streaming Media Technology
In the rapidly evolving landscape of education, streaming media technology has emerged as a transformative force, particularly in distance education. This study explores the integration of streaming media into university English teaching, focusing on enhancing real-time interaction, personalization, and student engagement. Despite significant advancements, specific gaps remain in optimizing these aspects within remote settings. Through a mixed-methods approach, combining structured questionnaires with semi-structured interviews, this research identifies key themes and patterns that highlight strengths and areas for improvement. The findings reveal that while streaming media significantly improves teaching quality and student participation, challenges such as network instability and bandwidth limitations persist. The study proposes a comprehensive assessment framework integrating quantitative and qualitative data to evaluate the effectiveness of streaming media in university English instruction.

Streamable Services: Affinities for Streaming in Pre-Pandemic Congregational Worship
Following the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, many congregational leaders had to scramble to set up streaming or recording systems in order to continue their worship services without putting congregants at risk, but some congregations had already set up such systems in the years leading up to the pandemic. Previous research has found that these capabilities were not evenly distributed throughout the population of congregations, but this work has primarily focused on how technological divides are the result of a lack of economic resources. However, economic resources were not the only factor associated with whether congregations had streaming options or not. Using Wave 4 of the National Congregations Study (NCS) conducted in 2018–2019, I find that, prior to the pandemic, Catholic congregations and Protestant congregations with more enthusiastic worship services were more likely to have streaming or recording systems even after controlling for economic resources, technological knowledge, and other organizational features. The elective affinities between certain worship practices and online streaming meant that some congregations were in a better position to meet the unexpected challenges posed by the coronavirus pandemic. These findings highlight the important role congregations’ cultural beliefs and practices can play in shaping their activities.

THE CHANGING FACE OF ACADEMIC MUSIC MEDIA COLLECTIONS IN RESPONSE TO THE RISE OF ONLINE MUSIC DELIVERY
The evolution of online media delivery methods and the ubiquity of mobile devices has led to a shift in user preferences away from physical formats to freely accessible streaming content via sites like YouTube and Spotify and downloads from sites like iTunes. This progression has also resulted in content that libraries are precluded from owning due to prohibitive end-user license agreements. As a result, academic libraries must reexamine the role and objectives of their media collections as well as barriers to their use. This article presents the findings of a survey of North American music media selectors and provides a baseline context for the current and changing state of their collections and collecting habits. It finds that librarians are still actively collecting physical formats even though collection use is shrinking. In addition, they feel local pressures related to budgets, space, and preservation. Librarians have reservations about the costs and stability of commercial streaming products and what that means for creating unique collections. Respondents articulated numerous questions that the library profession should be asking itself and library patrons about the future of academic music media collections. Several possible approaches to these issues are put forth.

Full Stream Ahead: Designing a Collection Development Workflow for Streaming Video Content
Academic libraries face many challenges in collecting and maintaining streaming videos, particularly as demand for this unique format continues to increase. At the Oviatt Library at California State University, Northridge, it was determined that streaming video activity needed to be examined and that there was a strong need to develop a workflow for incoming video requests. A Video Streaming Decision Tree Committee composed of librarians and staff from various units within the library including collection development, acquisitions, cataloging, and music and media. Its charge was to create a decision tree workflow for incoming streaming video requests. The committee designed and implemented a detailed decision tree that accounts for many of the complexities of streaming video. This paper discusses various factors involved with collection development for streaming video and provides a detailed description of the committee’s workflow for the format.
