Streaming Video
- Avalon
Avalon is an online service that provides round-the-clock access to streaming audio and video content. This content includes some course reserve materials, library-owned items, and locally created content from campus departments. Video content formerly hosted by BGSU's Digital Video Streaming Service (DVSS) may be found here, as well as streaming audio content previously housed in Variations.
Avalon's publicly available content can be accessed via the search box, or there are options to browse by date, format, collection and more. BGSU users will need to sign in to access content that is assigned to them or restricted to the campus community.
If you are a BGSU faculty member and would like to make streaming content available to your classes, follow the instructions at https://libguides.bgsu.edu/streamingvideo/avalon.
- KanopyKanopy is a database of over 12,000 videos available for online streaming.

Creating Links to Articles
When you assign your students articles to read for a class, how do you make those articles available to them? Do you give them citations and tell them to find the articles on their own? Do you retrieve the articles yourself and upload copies to Canvas?
Be aware that downloading copies of articles from BGSU library databases and then uploading them to Canvas for your students may violate copyright law.
A better idea is to provide students with persistent links (also called permalinks) to the articles you want them to read on Canvas. Students will be able to access the articles both on and off campus, and you don't have to go through the reserves process. Permalinks also allow us to know what resources are being used in courses--this goes a long way in helping us decide what databases and resources to maintain.
