Find Streaming Titles from JMU Libraries via Library Search

Here is how you can use Library Search to look for streaming media across many platforms.

1. Type your title or keywords into Library Search.

2. Use Modify Results in the left-hand column to adjust your search results. For finding streaming media, you can adjust by Availability to only see items Available Online.

You can also adjust results by Material Type to select only Video results.

3. When you find a video, click on the title of the video to see more access options. The below screenshot demonstrates the different ways the information may appear. Physical items, like DVDs, will have a Library Location and call number. Streaming titles say Available Online.

Click on the video title or Available Online link to see where to access the full video.

4. In the individual item record, go to Get JMU Access section to find the database link.

5. If you are off-campus, you may need to login with your eID, password, and Duo before accessing the full video.

6. If you want to use the video for a class, check the Local Note to see if we have temporary leased access or longer-term purchased access. Use the Request Streaming Video Content for Your Canvas Course form to request stable access to leased content.

Much, but not all, of our streaming media can be found through Library Search. If you aren't finding what you are looking for:

• Review what is included in Library Search
• Search a streaming video database directly
• Contact your liaison librarian
