What's New Now? Video Search

Web services that deliver multimedia are beginning to take off. Yahoo, Google, Blinkx, and Truveo have announced search services that go beyond crawling HTML to deliver video based on the content within the stream. How does it work? Since commercial computer applications usually drive the development of affordable, scalable, scholarly tools, what are the prospects for video information retrieval in the scholarly context?

Something about me:My new title is Digital Access Librarian. I research and implement new user service technologies, manage OpenURL and metasearch services, and research and advise on web services and digital media access. I was Head of Media & Electronic Services at NYU Libraries from 1994-2007. As webmaster and head of academic media services, I pioneered the use of streaming media for events and curriculum support at NYU. My continuing research interest is video information retrieval.
