Streaming video
Streaming video is available to BGSU students through Kanopy and OhioLINK. Each video is also listed in the BGSU Library Catalog.
- Kanopy
A streaming service for videos from major educational film producers and distributors.
- 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.
