Do We Currently Have Access to a Film?: QuickSearch Knows

In most cases, feature films to which Rutgers users currently have access will be found in QuickSearch
To search for a specific title,
  • Select "Advanced Search" (below the basic QuickSearch box).
  • Use the pull-down menu to change the first "Any Field" to "Title"
  • Use the pull-down menu to change the first "Contains" to "Starts With"
  • Enter your title
  • Use the pull-down menu to change the "Resource Type" to "Video/Film"

Streaming Video Collections

The major resources for digital media at Rutgers are Swank Digital Campus and Kanopy. You can log into the databases and browse, but if you are looking for a specific title, QuickSearch is still your best option!
Swank Digital Campus
Digital access to feature films and documentaries that Rutgers instructors are using in their courses this year. Content will change from semester to semester.
Kanopy
Has an inventory of some 30,000 documentaries, as well as classic, foreign, and indie films. Rutgers subscribes to a core collection of about 5,000 titles, which is then augmented by faculty requests. The core collection itself is not static, with films being added and others removed regularly. What is currently available can be found by searching QuickSearch or by searching/browsing the Kanopy platform.
