New video database available at WSU Libraries

WSU Libraries’ patrons now have access to a new video database, ProQuest’s Academic Video Online (AVON) (https://ntserver1.wsulibs.wsu.edu:3843/channel/academic-video-online), offering 71,000 titles spanning such subject areas as anthropology, business, counseling, film, health, history, music and more. The database was recently made available to member institutions of the Orbis Cascade Alliance, which includes WSU.

AVON provides a variety of video material with curricular relevance: documentaries, interviews, feature films, performances, news programs and newsreels, demonstrations and raw footage. The database features award-winning films, including Academy®, Emmy® and Peabody® winners. Academic institutions will find the most frequently used films for classroom instruction, plus newly released films and previously unavailable archival material.

Faculty who wish to use the database for their classes are encouraged to contact their liaison librarian (https://libraries.wsu.edu/about/subject-specialists) or Christy Zlatos (zlatos@wsu.edu) for support. For other questions about the database, post them at the Ask Us link (https://libraries.wsu.edu/ask).

The Notices and Announcements section is provided as a service to the WSU community for sharing events such as lectures, trainings, and other highly transactional types of information related to the university experience. Information provided and opinions expressed may not reflect the understanding or opinion of WSU. Accuracy of the information presented is the responsibility of those who submitted it. The self-uploaded posts are reviewed for compliance with state statutes and ethics guidelines but are not edited for spelling, grammar, or clarity.
