So many new streaming film collections at the Libraries!

Are you using film in your class? Or just want to pull on the sweatpants and watch a movie? The Libraries has recently added a wealth of streaming film collections for faculty and students alike. These collections include flexible viewing options like 24/7 access and the ability to watch from any location, on or off campus.

If you're an instructor, this expansion of collections is particularly exciting. English/Film Studies professor Dr. John Stadler says "Streaming access from the Libraries has been a game-changer in how I teach in the film studies classroom and in how students research and write their papers." Dr. Johanna Montlouis-Gabriel, Assistant Professor in Foreign Languages and Literatures, says "It can be a challenge to gain access to Francophone movies with English subtitles, but thanks to the great access we have been getting from the Libraries, I have been able to focus on the delivery of the content rather than worrying about gaining access."

Check out the new collections, and some examples of what they include, below:
