Videos in the Library Collection

DVDs can be placed on physical "Print Reserves." See Course Reserves Information for Faculty for instructions.

For physical/print reserves, students need to:

• Visit the library.
• Check-out the DVD.
• The Reserves DVD can be viewed on library laptops using library external drives.
• The instructor can set the circulation period allow the DVD to be taken home overnight.

Copyright law has provisions (such as "Fair Use") which can allow some DVD content to be streamed online via Electronic Reserves. Also, some documentary DVDs can be purchased with unlimited institutional streaming rights from the publisher. Please consult your librarian liaison regarding what options are available.

To request Electronic Reserves streaming of DVD content under "Fair Use":

• For Summer 2024, you can submit an Electronic Reserves Request form.
• For Fall 2024 and later, please request the video from your Liaison Librarian.
• See Course Reserves - Information for Faculty for additional details.

A video may usually be streamed via Electronic Reserves under Fair Use if:

• An institutional streaming license is not available;
• and/or only clips are used.

For More Information See:

• Copyright & the TEACH Act (Academic Technology / Instructional Design & Development)
• Fair Use overview
