The Library provides students, faculty, and staff with hundreds of thousands of (mostly academic) streaming videos.

You can browse our collections of streaming films. These collections include:

• Kanopy
• Academic Video Online (Alexander Street)
• Dance Online (Alexander Street)
• Films on Demand (Infobase)
• Film Platform
• LGBT Studies in Video (Alexander Street)

Or use Library Search to search across platforms (except Kanopy) for a particular film, director, or topic:

1. Use the Library Search box on the library website. If you're looking for a specific movie, you can search for the title. Or you can search by director, actor, or subject.
    
2. If you see a bunch of books and articles instead of the movie you're looking for, refine your results: go to Source Type on the left, click Show More, select Videos, and click Apply Filters:
    
3. 
    
4. Videos may be listed as DVDs you can check out at the Library Service Desk...
   
   
   
   or as streaming videos (available online):
   
   
5. If it's available online, click "Available Online" and then click the link to the database the film is in.

Note: Most streaming videos in Kanopy are not listed in the catalog; go directly to Kanopy to search for a film. Please stream Kanopy responsibly (we get charged high fees for movies streamed through Kanopy).
