Streaming Video Collections

Because this service is maintained to support classroom instruction, the films available through Swank will vary from semester to semester.What we have access to any particular semester depends on the Rutgers faculty, and what they requested for that semester.

Kanopy; Has an inventory of some 30,000 documentaries, as well as classic, foreign, and indie films. Producers include the Criterion Collection, New Day Films, California Newsreel, Kino Lorber, PBS, and First Run Features.
