Requesting new video titles
Please use the form below for library video acquisition requests, and bear in mind:
- Streaming videos must be requested by faculty each year the videos are intended for use.
- Please allow 2-3 weeks for library staff to process your request before you need a film.
- The library has thousands of streaming titles. Please check the library catalog to see if Gleeson Library owns or licenses this already.
- For in-class viewing, it is possible to screen DVDs in the classrooms. DVDs can be placed on course reserves for your students to check out for short periods. The library also has DVD players they can borrow.
- We only accept requests for licensed videos that are available on the following platforms: Kanopy, Alexander Street, and Swank Digital Campus.
- The library has a cap of $150 for a one-year license or $350 for a three-year license per title, or up to $150 for a DVD. Please request videos that you're sure you will use. Making the best use of financial resources means that we must carefully weigh every request.
