Our collection development strategy is motivated by a desire to meet the teaching, learning, and research needs of all Yale students and faculty working with film. We strive to expand and strengthen our robust general collection, while also deepening the collection in key research areas in consultation with Yale faculty. We welcome purchase requests and inquiries about ways the Film Archive can support individual research interests. We try to fulfill as many purchase requests as possble, but in making purchasing decisions we must consider issues such as cost, licensing conflicts, purchasing challenges, technical considerations (including region and availability of subtitles), and anticipated usefulness to multiple patrons. Decisions regarding acquisitions are based primarily on academic needs, with priority given to current-year courses and active research projects.

In 2010 TRECVID confronted known-item search and semantic indexing systems with a new set of Internet videos (referred to in what followsas IACC) characterized by a high degree of diversity in creator, content, style, production qualities, original collectiondevice/encoding, language, etc - as is common in much "Web video". The collection also has associated keywords and descriptions provided bythe video donor. The videos are available under CreativeCommons licenses from the Internet Archive. The only selection criteria imposed by TRECVID beyond theCreative Commons licensing is one of video duration - they are short (less than 6 min). In addition to the IACC data set, NIST begandeveloping an Internet multimedia test collection (HAVIC) with the Linguistic Data Consortiumand used it in growing amounts (up to 8000 h) in TRECVID 2010-2017 Multimedia Event Detection (MED) task. The airport surveillance video, introduced in TRECVID2009, has been reused each year up to 2017 within the Surveillance event detection (SED) task.
New in 2013 was video provided by the BBC. Programming from their long-running EastEndersseries was used in the instance search (INS) task. An additional 600 h of Internet Archive video available under Creative Commons licensing forresearch (IACC.2) was used for the semantic indexing task as planned from 2013 to 2015 with new test data each year. In addition, a new concept localization (LOC) taskwas introduced in 2013 up to 2016.
Starting in 2022, the new subset collection (V3C2) of vimeo videos was used by the ad-hoc video search task. In addition the adoptionof movie domain datasets (Creative Commons) as well as licensed (from KinoLorberEdu platform) was utilized to support the Movie Summarization (MSUM) as well as the Deep Video Understanding (DVU) tasks to tackle high-level semantic Understandingand linking (e.g. recognizing relationships, interactions, sentiments, etc).

Social media posts can be altered quickly. If you outsource your preservations to a service vendor, a significant amount of time can pass before the required captures are made. During that time, the available evidence may change significantly. The WebPreserver plugin allows you to preserve online evidence immediately, greatly reducing the likelihood that it will be edited and/or deleted by a third party before collection.
While the curation probably took a while, there wasn't much original content creation going on here -- it's really just a series of clips of unlikely animals palling around together. I mean, who doesn't want to see a parrot feeding spaghetti to a husky? Or a monkey climbing onto (and promptly falling off of) a horse's back? And yet, the video was shared more than 6.4 million times, according to video ad tech company Unruly.
This series by Wieden + Kennedy and Nike Women uses honest humor to shed light on the "inner thoughts" women experience at the gym (though I'm certain there is a male equivalent to these types of situations).
In this video marketing series, Facebook presents 12 different functions of the platform as they relate to real-life user scenarios, such as the need to turn notifications off, add a friend to a group, unfollow your oversharing friend, or use a sticker to express feelings that don't quite translate into words (explained in the video above).
Intel's five-part "Meet the Makers" series looks more like the inspirational, uplifting stories you see on the news rather than videos created by a brand. Each video profiles a person around the world who uses Intel products to create amazing experiences and new technology.
Existing web archiving efforts use the following selection criteria to determine what to preserve: domain (such as .gov or .edu), topic or event, media type and genre. Many European countries archive the web in their country domain. The library of the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) captures pages in the Goddard domain (Senserini et al., 2004). The Library of Congress has created various event-based web collections, such as the September 11, 2001 web archives, the election web archives and the Iraq War 2003 web archives (Library of Congress Archives, 2011). Media-type based selection includes or excludes certain media types. The Goddard library, for example, avoids crawling large video files and software products (Senserini et al., 2004). The web archiving project conducted by Chirag Shah and Gary Marchionini (2007), on the other hand, focused on preserving election videos on Youtube. Some web archives select based on genres such as blogs, newspapers, virtual worlds, etc. The National Library of France created a web collection of e-diaries (Lasfargues et al., 2008). The Internet Archive has a software archive and an archive of videogame videos (Internet Archive, 2001a; Internet Archive, 2001b). The Preserving Virtual Worlds project conducts research specifically on archiving online virtual worlds (Preserving Virtual Worlds, 2008). Antonescu, et al. (2009) pointed out two different approaches to preserving online virtual worlds. One approach preserves the technical infrastructure the objects and avatars existing in the virtual worlds while the other approach preserves the interaction and life experiences of avatars in virtual worlds. Winget and Murray conducted research to preserve the records and artifacts created during the process of developing videogames (Winget and Murray, 2008).
Selection criteria, such as domain or media type, can be associated with either a value-based selection or a representative sampling method. The web archive of the National Taiwan University gathers web resources that are valuable from historical, cultural, social, educational, or academic viewpoints (Chen et al., 2008). Spam filtering is also a type of value-based selection method. Representative sampling, on the other hand, avoids the subjectivity and bias in value-based appraisal and tries to create a representative image of what is to be preserved. Lyle (2004) applied sampling strategy to web resources that have been downloaded by crawlers as a way to reduce the quantity of web resources to be archived. The National Library of France used the sampling strategy to decide the seed list and filtering criteria before crawling; the National Library believes that collections should "mirror the French society and culture in all its diversity regardless of the scientific value or popularity of the publications" (Lasfargues et al., 2008). Due to this belief, "the web archive includes the 'best' (literature, scientific publishing) as well as the 'worst' (from advertisings to pornography). Small, medium and big got the same chance to be collected" (Lasfargues et al., 2008).
