E-video usage in M25• During the trial, usage of multi-disciplinary academic

video collections increased, overall, by 13 times (1300%) over baseline levels of holdings by M25 Library member institutions, with some institutions reaching 29 times increase (2900%).

• Outcomes from this trial indicate that current library acquisition of academic video is not matching wider academic demands for AV material for use in teaching and learning.
