A Discussion with the Authors of Streaming Video Collection Development and Management

Abstract

Streaming video has emerged in the last decade-plus as a crucial format for library collections. With the ascendency of this format, attendant challenges have arisen for library workers within technical services and collection development units. It was in this spirit that LRTS assistant editor Michael Fernandez and Amauri Serrano authored the recently published monograph, Streaming Video Collection Development and Management (Bloomsbury, 2025; ISBN: 9781440880858). In lieu of a formal book review, Fernandez conducted an interview with Serrano to discuss the motivating factors for writing the monograph, the process for organizing the structure of the text, and the prospective audience who may benefit from it.
