A video streaming platform which offers a broad collection of media ranging from documentaries, independent and foreign films, must-see classics, to blockbuster movies. Search for films by title, subject, keywords, or browse by subject. Register with Kanopy to utilize features such as playlists, clips, sharing, embedding, and creating a watch list for future viewing.<\/p>\n Electronic Books:\u00a0 <\/strong>\u00a0Collins Library makes electronic books available through database subscriptions, individual purchases, and by opening up collections for user discovery and possible purchase after demonstrated use (known as patron-driven acquisition). We currently provide access to over 386,000 eBooks and will shortly be loading collections for patron driven acquisition from Oxford University Press, University of California Press, Taylor and Francis and CRC Press that will push our accessible titles past 400,000. Consider linking to some of these books in your Moodle site.\u00a0 eBooks can be found in Primo by searching, and then limiting to the \u201cResource Type\u201d \u201ceBooks\u201d in the right hand facets.<\/p>\n A few examples:<\/p>\n Some eBooks are open access, others are purchased with licensing options that may limit the number of simultaneous users or use in course packs or electronic reserves.
