[Sigia-l] A little help from the pros...

[Porras Merce]

Hi,

As it seems that it's a general category under you will
classify different videos, I'd use 'online videos'. From a semantic
point of view maybe could be redundant, but it's very descriptive and
understandable.

Other labels (just some brainstorming):
- 'videos and multimedia':  if apart from videos there are other types of media.
- 'live videos'

regards,

Mercè Porras

Hi 
guys,

Im 
a 
LIS 
student 
and 
I'm 
having 
issues 
labeling 
a 
link 
on 
a 
library 
website 
I'm 
working 
on. 
Its 
stumped 
everyone 
I've 
asked 
about 
it 
so 
I'm 
hoping 
you 
can 
help.

 
The 
current 
label 
is 
'streaming 
videos' 
and 
its 
a 
link 
to 
a 
list 
of 
various 
sites 
that 
offer 
video 
i.e. 
YouTube, 
history 
videos, 
travel 
videos, 
online 
tv 
etc... 
but 
I'm 
hesitant 
on 
using 
that 
because 
streaming 
is 
not 
a 
word 
you 
hear 
every 
day 
and 
when 
its 
used 
has 
more 
technical 
implications 
than 
a 
category 
or 
type 
and 
I 
don't 
want 
to 
confuse 
or 
scare 
users 
away.

I'm 
so 
so 
on 
using 
'online 
video' 
because 
of 
its 
redundancy 
(Its 
a 
link 
on 
a 
web 
page, 
you 
are 
already 
online 
so 
of 
course 
it 
is 
too.) 
and 
because 
it 
seems 
like 
online 
is 
over 
used 
a 
lot 
these 
days 
and 
not 
very 
descriptive.  

We 
thought 
about 
just 
calling 
it 
'video' 
but 
then 
rejected 
that 
because 
while 
simple 
its 
really 
not 
that 
descriptive. 

I 
know 
this 
is 
something 
that 
usually 
gets 
answered 
by 
usability 
tests 
but  
those 
are 
not 
available 
in 
my 
current 
situation 
thus 
my 
plea 
of 
help 
to 
you..  
Does 
a 
better 
word 
exist?

Any 
and 
all 
suggestion 
are 
welcome, 
even 
if 
its 
just 
telling 
me 
I'm 
over 
thinking 
this 
too 
much.

Thanks,
Ali
