Streaming Introduction

The UCO library, working with several vendors, provides streaming video and audio to students, faculty, and staff.

If you have specific titles/resources you know you’d like to have available online, please send those to your Library Liaison and we will do the following:

Check our available streaming services to see if the film/media is already available, and send you the link or embed code.
Check to see if we can license an online version of the film/media from one of our providers, and do that if possible.

This process can happen relatively quickly, but the library does need some time to work through these options. Please let us know as soon as possible if you plan on using a film/media in your course.
