For AVON and other resources, you can use a catalog keyword search to find videos on various topics. For example, combine the phrase "streaming video" with a word or phrase.

AVON (Academic Video Online)  delivers more than 82,000 titles spanning the widest range of subject areas including anthropology, business, counseling, film, health, history, music, and more.

In addition to searching the catalog, you can directly visit the video collection websites to browse or search for titles.

• Kanopy provides access to thousands of videos in the areas of the arts, humanities, business, sciences, media/communications, education and more. Users can create playlists and clips (pdf) from Kanopy's content without registering for an account, but accounts make it easier to manage the clips and playlists you create.
• Swank provides video content used for reserves in classes this semester, but open to all of UH Manoa. May need to download plug-ins to view videos

Copying the correct URL

Do not copy video URLs from your browser's address bar and try to share them. Right-click and copy the link from the library catalog record or the persistent link in a video collection description. Make sure the URL looks something like this : http://digital.films.com.eres.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/PortalViewVideo.aspx?xtid=32432

For more information on these and other streaming video options, see the Online Video Resources guide.

And also check out the Media/Streaming Reserves for more information on requests for streaming videos.
