Streaming Video at the CSUSB Libraries: Faculty Video Requests
Current CSUSB students, staff, and faculty have access through the library to thousands of streaming videos.
NEED A VIDEO FOR YOUR CLASS?
For Successful Video Assignments
Always check that the video is available for university use before creating an assignment. Librarian Bonnie Petry can assist you.
Due to the intricacies of the industry and copyright law, sometimes videos simply are not available particularly to the higher education market. Adding foreign or independent film makers into the mix can increase the complexity.
Good to Know
- Sometimes videos are no longer available in any format, even from the people who created them.
- The number of awards given to a video do not necessarily equate to availability.
- 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.
