Subject: Coping with multimedia features and document formats in e-journals

How do you support your patrons at (local or remote) workstations for
viewing multimedia features (sound, video) and other internet formats in
e-journals ?

Do you maintain a local software library with plug-ins and viewers for all
potential file extensions (pro : direct / con : maintenance) or do you
link to plug-in libraries like BrowserWatch Plug-In Plaza (pro : extensive
list / con : not the latest versions, not direct : via www.jumbo.com and
just a link to the homepage of the developer (not user-friendly) and
Netscape plug-in (pro : annotations, direct, searchable / con : Netscape
registration required for several downloads) ?
