Netflix Service for University Instructors

Netflix helps educate the masses. The University of Washington is starting a pilot program that allows instructors to request DVD's through the University's Netflix account. The goal is to give instructors access to titles that the Media Center does not have on hand. An excellent idea; I hope it pans out.

The UW Libraries Media Center is pleased to offer UW instructors access to a free Netflix DVD rental service. This service will augment our permanent collections by offering access to titles we do not currently own, faster access to popular titles we do own, and the opportunity to preview titles before requesting they be purchased by the Libraries.
