The Smith Library Center acquired the Films on Demand database this summer, a database with approximately 6,500 streaming videos.  The database can be accessed on the alphabetical list ”Databases A-Z“.  In the database you can create your own account and then develop your own playlists, favorites, and preferences.  Films on Demand is academically strong in the areas of humanities and social sciences, business and economics, health and medicine, science and mathematics. Archival World War II-era newsreels are now available from United News too. Titles are available in the “View By Subject” bar, then by clicking on the link “Archival Films & Newsreels” to browse newsreel segments; or, use Advanced Search for keyword searching by selecting “Archival Films & Newsreels” in the SUBJECT drop-down menu.

Take a look at this unique and rich collection of films.  For students who need to use a movie in the classroom, this database is ideal.
