Are you looking to incorporate more documentary video or film into your course content?  Not everything is available on YouTube, and we all want to make sure that students have free access to any assigned content.  That's why the library subscribes to two video databases, both of which allow instructors to link directly to or embed videos right into Canvas. 

Kanopy offers documentaries and feature films for streaming.  10,000 titles are available!  Should the film you want not be available in our package, you can request that it be purchased.

Alexander Street Video is an extensive archive of documentary video.  Look here for historic news clips as well as documentary films.  This is a subscription service and does not need individual purchase, so look here first, but it has relatively little feature film content.  Check out this quick overview for more information.

 Instructors should make sure that content is still available at the beginning of every semester, since -- like all streaming services -- items do go in and out of availability.

If you like myths, fairytales, and classic stories consider reading a modern retelling. Sometimes a modern version of a story becomes a classic itself. Modern retellings can fit into any genre from romance, mystery, fantasy, or family saga. Though reimaginings of Shakespeare, Greek myths, and European fairytales are popular they can often have a new twist of setting, culture, or gender. We also have stories from all over the world such as India, Mexico, Nigeria, and more. For a glimpse of what we have take a look at our collection of modern retellings
