Hello all,

Here at the Rhode Island School of Design Library, we've set up trials to Academic Video Online (Alexander Street) and Artfilms (Contemporary Arts Media).  These help flesh out our limited streaming options.  Artfilms is very art-specific, while Academic Video Online has a huge amount of content that covers many areas of study relevant to our students.  

Both are also non-requesting databases, meaning all the content is available.

We also use Kanopy (mediated for class reserves only, of course), and have a subscription to the Art and Architecture Streaming Video Collection (Films on Demand.). 

In my experience, most faculty want very specific films that are often not available for academic viewing (Amazon, Netflix, etc.), so part of the promotion of these databases is to get them to search for alternate content.  

Hope this helps, would love to hear other ideas/options?

Thanks,


Marc Calhoun

Good morning,

 

I’m a new Fine Arts Librarian and I’m hoping to ask the ARLIS community for some advice.

 

I’m in the middle of researching various streaming sites that can support my faculty this coming term. Does anyone have any recommendations of streaming sites they’ve used that has worked well for them and their Fine Arts and Film program/faculty?

 

Any information is very greatly appreciated!

 

Warmly,
