Film Rentals
The library prefers to purchase films instead of renting. If a film can not be purchased, a rental film order request form is available from the Music & Media Library. The library will pay upt to $100 and the sponsoring department pays the any additional amount.

I assist students and faculty with research and class projects. Feel free to contact me for an appointment.
Streaming in Class
For "in-classroom screenings" conducted via Zoom faculty should share permalinks with students either via videoconference chat or your courses' Canvas site. Students should watch on their own screens in a separate window and with their Zoom audio muted, and then return to the main meeting for discussion, analysis, etc.
However, to reduce the likelihood of technical problems during class time, allow the students 1-3 days to view the film independently and faculty lead the discussion during class time.
Contact Kristan for a permalink if it is not available.
Streaming Rules
Yes, we do have online documentaries. You can explore Kanopy for more or you can request a purchase.
Faculty can use the streaming video as homework assignments for students. Streaming video is best used outside of the classroom.
Streaming video can NOT be used for public film showings. If you are planning a film series, please contact your librarian about purchasing a DVD with public performance rights.
The library is prohibited from using personal subscription services, such as Netflix, Hulu, iTunes, and Amazon.
