Streaming Delivery Service (SDS)

What is the Streaming Delivery Service?

The Streaming Delivery Service (SDS) delivers digital audio that is stored in the Digital Repository Service (DRS) to web browsers. SDS can secure audio to the Harvard community (ie. those with a Harvard ID number and PIN) when appropriate.

Here is an example of streaming audio.

What do I need to use the Streaming Delivery Service?

The SDS uses the Real Audio format for its audio delivery. You need a version of Real Player installed on your computer.
