Circulation uploads to the UMaine Fogler Media Library channel in Kaltura admin (KMC). This channel is set to private, in compliance with copyright, so that no one may see the videos in the list unless a specific link is provided. Authorized users can see the entire list.
The owner of the video needs to be changed from the personal account of whom ever digitized to the general Fogler account.
In the Title field, qualifiers, if any need to be added in square brackets. Do not add [English language], this is the assumed default, much like the dissertations in DC.
1. Example: Princess Mononoke [English subtitles]
2. Example: Princess Mononoke [Japanese audio]

Circulation staff adds film to the Brightspace course shell for which it is needed. To do so, they add their own e-mail address stem as “co-publisher” to film in Kaltura, e.g. if address is linda.smith2@maine.edu, add linda.smith2. Name will pop up for selection.
Locate course shell in Brightspace and add film as outlined in Brightspace procedures document. This allows faculty to use and link to film clips for the course. [or you could pop in a copy of the entire Brightspace detailed set-up procedures here].
Circulation staff notifies faculty member that the film is available in their Brightspace course shell.
