Físchlár-Nursing: FAQ
The Físchlár-Nursing Video Library, developed and maintained 2003 - 2004 by Centre for Digital Video Processing, Dublin City University, allowed a student nurse or a member of staff in the school of Nursing at Dublin City University, to browse through and playback from a total of (currently) 34 nursing-related video programmes from a desktop PC connected to DCU's network. This library has been created as collection of study material for courses in the School of Nursing at DCU. As a user can access the video materials leisurely at anytime of the day, from a desktop PC connected to the Web, it is not necessary to have to borrow VHS tapes and use a VCR machine. Moreover, the video programmes are more easily browsable with the table of contents and the shot-level content browsers and so it is easier to browse through and to search for a particular segment within a video programme, all from a web browser.

If you want to access on your own office PC, you do require the installation of a small piece of software … a task that takes about 2 minutes. If you have not used any variation of the Físchlár system before from your PC, this means you will have to download the Oracle Video Player plug-in to play the video (the plug-in is downloadable from http://www.fischlar.dcu.ie/video/plugin/ … download the file and say YES or OK to all of the questions the installation process asks). If you require some help doing this then contact fischlar@computing.dcu.ie and we would be glad to help.

browse that part of the video's images. Clicking on the image at any point in the
browser will start playback from the clicked shot onwards.
