Current CSUSB students, staff, and faculty have access through the library to thousands of streaming videos.

NEED A VIDEO FOR YOUR CLASS?

Check OneSearch first!

You and your students have immediate access to the streaming videos found in OneSearch.  No need to make a request ahead of time, worry about expiration dates, or be concerned about requiring your students to spend money on subscriptions.  Follow the instructions under the OneSearch tab in this guide.

Didn't find anything?

If the library doesn't have a license to a video that you need for a class, you can request it.  Due to the high costs involved, only faculty members can request video licenses.  Fulfillment is dependent upon funding and the ability to purchase a perpetual/life of file license.

Requested videos must be intended as required viewing for an entire class on a long-term basis.

TO REQUEST VIDEOS WE DON'T HAVE

To request non-Kanopy streaming videos, please use the Faculty Video Request Form on the library's website.

Turnaround time depends upon many factors and may vary widely.  Plan ahead!

Good to Know

  • Sometimes videos simply are no longer available in any format, even from the people who created them.
  • Videos must have closed captioning.  English subtitles do not satisfy the campus ADA requirements.
  • Consumer- based streaming services such as Amazon do not sell video licenses to the academic market.  Period.
  • Consumer- based streaming services such as Netflix do not offer institutional subscriptions.
