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

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