General Research Guide: Videos

Welcome

Guess what? The library has movies, too. Streaming ones. No DVD player? No problem.

 

What you're looking for just may be a line from one of the classics, or a pull quote from one of the latest HBO documentaries.

 

Don't forget: there's plenty of video all over the web on your topic -- and yes, that's research, too!

Film Subscription Services

Films on Demand streams almost 40,000 nonfiction film titles (and a few hundred thousand segments) touching upon the whole spectrum of contemporary topics -- including yours. 

Kanopy doesn't just stream documentaries and educational content -- they also offer thoughtful, entertaining cinematic titles from every era and genre.

Specialized Databases

Like with books, many libraries offer specialized databases of films to help you build a bibliography covering a specific research area.
