About Streaming Media

The library may in rare circumstances digitize elements of videos for online courses when there is no alternative available and when a streaming version does not exist for purchase. Because this process includes rigorous copyright research, it often takes weeks or months to accomplish. Please contact Monica Pereira if there is a video you need for an online course.
