The Ross Pendergraft Library is preparing for the fall by finding more online resources for whatever the future brings.\u00a0 In anticipation for a potential online environment for some classes, we have added a new collection of streaming films from Swank Digital Campus<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a><\/p>\n

An initial collection of fifty Hollywood films have been added to the platform and reflect films slated to be taught and discussed for the fall 2020 curriculum. \u00a0These include international films, class films, and critically acclaimed films from a variety of genres.\u00a0 Search for individual films in the search box or browse by genre for comedies, horror, crime films, drama, and more.<\/p>\n

To access the films, go to the library\u2019s homepage and select A-to-Z Databases<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0 From there, navigate to Swank by browsing our alphabetical list of databases or searching for Swank in the search box.<\/p>\n

If you are off-campus, you may be first prompted to login with your Tech Username and Password.<\/p>\n

If this is your first-time accessing Swank, you may be asked whether to enter as a student or login as a faculty member.\u00a0 If you select \u201cStudent\u201d, it takes you right to the main browse page.\u00a0 If you select “Faculty,” you will be asked to create a separate account that enables you to request new movies for your class.\u00a0 However, as a faculty member, you can always contact your librarian liaison<\/a><\/strong> to request new streaming films.<\/p>\n

If you select a film, you can watch it immediately in the browser window, copy a permanent link, or copy an LMS link that you can use to embed directly into Blackboard:<\/p>\n

Each film includes the ability to display or hide subtitles.\u00a0 If you want to watch on a mobile device like a phone or tablet, download the Swank Media Player from your app store.\u00a0 Then navigate to the library\u2019s Swank website<\/a><\/strong> on your device.<\/p>\n

If you need a bigger selection than Swank, the library has three other streaming video platforms from which to choose films and documentaries:<\/p>\n
