Alexander Street Tips and Tricks for Faculty

Alexander Street Tips and Tricks for Faculty
Webinar on using Alexander Street streaming films in courses. Alexander Street databases include: PBS Video, American and World History in Video, Theatre in Video, & Shakespeare in Video.

Streaming Film Collections

The library subscribes to a number of streaming film collections. All collections are available for linking within your D2L course shell.

Tips & Tricks:

Make sure you follow the instructions for embedding links in your guides. If you have trouble, please feel free to contact emily.bush@nscc.edu.
If you're using a PBS series or documentary, please use the PBS database. Many of these films are available in Kanopy, but are on a pay per view basis.
If you're using a History Channel documentary, please check American History in Video and World History in Video first.
