Finding Videos

Researchers can use the library catalog to determine audiovisual holdings in the University Libraries. You can also "Browse" for videos within the "Multimedia" tab, and choose to sort your results by "Relevance", "Title A-Z", "Title Z-A", "Newest" (Received), & "Oldest" (Received).

Booking University Libraries' Videos

Most audiovisual materials from University Libraries can be "booked" for use later in the semester. Booking an item prevents other patrons from checking it out during the time period that you need it, which is really helpful if you have plans to show an item during class.

For more information, please stop by the circulation desk, or contact Kim Taylor at taylorkm@muohio.edu .You can also reach Kim by phone at (513) 785-3179.

Streaming Videos

Due to known issues with off-campus access, Rentschler Library is not actively promoting Streaming Video service at this time. Technology staff on all campuses are diligently attempting to correct the accessibility problem and the library will inform all faculty when the service is available.

Because of copyright restrictions, the only videos that can be made into streaming format are those owned by the University Libraries. Personal copies of videos--regardless of the intention for class use--cannot be copied. Additionally, it is IMPERATIVE that links to streaming videos are only distributed within Niihka so that only class members have access to viewing the materials. Please note that the streaming video links will expire by the end of the semester.

Please direct all questions regarding streaming video to Mark Shores at 785-3203.

Digital Videos

Students and faculty also have access to an online collection of over 1850 full-length educational videos that are licensed for use at Miami University. Videos can be viewed online or temporarily downloaded for playback from the OhioLINK Digital Media Center.
