Streaming videos now available through library
Have you found yourself needing a video clip for a class presentation? Are you interested in viewing films anytime and from anywhere? Do you need an archival newsreel of FDR? The Library now offers you two streaming video packages, Films on Demand and Academic Video Online (Alexander Street), that allow you to do all this and much more!
No more waiting for your turn to check-out a video, no more DVD overdue fines and no more watching DVDs in the library using headphones. You can watch these films from anywhere and at anytime! Plus, there are lots of nifty features that allow you to find short clips of film for a specific project, to create your own films by combining a series of clips and to do lots more.
The content in these packages is vast and ranges from interviews, to music and dance, news programs and documentaries, including PBS, BBC, A&E and ABC (to name just a few)! To access and browse these collections, select “Databases by Name” from the library homepage. Then select either “Films on Demand” or “Academic Video Online.”
