InfoGuides: Library Educational Resources: An Alternative to Textbooks: Assign Films/Videos

Check for a specific film

The Library Search can be used to locate streaming media that the library owns or subscribes to. However, it does NOT contain videos from request-only databases such as Kanopy and Swank.

Once you have reached library.gmu.edu, simply type your search terms into the search box, press enter, then refine your results to "Availability: Online" and "Resource Type: Video" or "Resource Type: Audio." This will yield films that the library owns in streaming.

For detailed information about media services available to instructors, see this guide.
