NJVID - New Jersey's Digital Video Repository

NJVid is a project funded by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services comprising a statewide digital video portal and central storage repository. It provides a common online platform for presenting, accessing, hosting and archiving institutions' licensed and locally-produced videos that educate and enlighten viewers in support of online teaching and learning. NJVid accommodates three overall collections of videos: locally-owned videos that can be viewed and shared by all, commercially-licensed videos, and noncommercial videos to which institutions provide members-only access.

NJVid's online video portal and central storage repository will reduce the need to acquire hard copies of video titles from commercial video vendors. Doing so will diminish physical video redundancy among Media Centers across the state. This in turn will shorten acquisition time periods, increase access possibilities for end-users, and decrease staff workload and overall institutional expenditures.
