Finding Online Videos

The library offers a wide variety of online streaming videos for educational purposes.  There are a number of options to search these collections:

Search a specific video database

  • Search directly in one of our video databases (example: Films on Demand), accessible through the Database A-Z list.
  • Each database is updated immediately with new additions, and offers a variety of ways to discover content (keyword search, subject categories, search by studio, etc.).

Search the Library

  • Search for the title or keyword in the Library search box on the homepage; from the left hand menu under Resource Type select Video.
  • This searches across most of our video collections and is updated regularly.
