Sources for Videos
The "Databases" tab on the library catalog home page has a link to Streaming Video sources. Included are Ethnographic Video Online, Kanopy, National Film Board of Canada and others. (The library ceased purchasing titles from Kanopy, but still has full access to the titles already purchased.]
Docuseek2 Complete Collection is available through a library catalog search. It "provides exclusive educational streaming access to important films from renowned leaders in documentary distribution, including Bullfrog Films, Collective Eye Films, Icarus Films (including The Fanlight Collection and dGenerate Films), Kartemquin Films, KimStim, the National Film Board of Canada, and Terra Nova Films."
For videos in our collection, one way to find them is to do a search for Asian-Americans using the subject field, then limit the results to 'video" under the Format option on the left. Generally, DVD's are shelved in Uris Library, Dean Room (main floor); older videocassettes (VHS) are in the Library Annex.
