Completely agree with Kate. Auto-captioning is a decent start but you have to clean them up to make them helpful. And many users have a need for captions. So please do it.

We mandate captioning as well. Kaltura does auto-captions but both myself and the university mandate checking and editing the captions soon after posting. Anyone who says the auto-captioning and pretty much perfect are made to wear the silliest of hats and sit in the corner of a circular room.

We don't have a formal policy but we are putting our library video content on Panopto and we do captioning.

Hi Kyle

Would you be willing to share what you find.

Here is a link the page at UC - https://www.uc.edu/about/accessibility-network/getting-started/policy.html.  We use Kaltura and require captioning.

And a checklist for video/audio content https://www.uc.edu/content/dam/uc/ucit/media/accessibility-network/bestpractice/best-practices-video-audio.pdf

Cheers,

Subject: [CODE4LIB] Video content creation policies?

I'm looking for policies that govern the library's creation of public-facing video content.  Anyone have an internal policy stipulating where videos are stored or mandating captioning?
