Kanopy is our most popular streaming service here at SVA. We have a mixture of up-front licenses and PDA licenses. No new films can be requested after our PDA budget has been spent down. We sometimes make exceptions for faculty requests.

We also subscribe to Art & Architecture in Video and Academic Video Online from Alexander Street, and EAI Educational Streaming from Electronic Arts Intermix. The latter is a relatively new service, and is great for video and media art. We have a few individual streaming titles from Docuseek2 that have been requested by faculty.

I sometimes also find things from VDB and UbuWeb.

For anything not available from these sources, we scour the internet for free sources or rental options on YouTube, Vimeo, Tubi, Internet Archive, etc., with the caveat that they may not always be available. Our Office of Learning Technology will provide digitizations of films to share behind a password in Canvas as long as we own a physical copy of the film in the library.

Hello, 

At ArtCenter College of Design Library, we use Kanopy and Swank Digital Campus for streaming services. Swank is new to us, so we don't have a lot of experience with it. We also have access to Ambrose Video (Shock of the New), & Films on Demand. Currently, we are mostly using Kanopy and Swank to fulfill Course Reserves requests. Kanopy is tricky because of their model, so we had to limit access to requests. Hope that helps.

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,

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,
