UCR Library is currently running a patron-driven acquisition pilot program for the expanded collection of Alexander Street Press streaming videos.

With Alexander Street Press videos, library users can create clips and playlists, quote directly from the video transcript, and discover new content for use in teaching and research.

With this resource, UCR Library can provide our patrons with access to high quality academic films available nowhere else. The collection includes more than 34,000 unique videos that span a broad range of subjects, with more than 7,000 exclusive titles that are offered only by Alexander Street.

Content spans many subject areas, including anthropology, counseling and therapy, business, documentary and feature film, education, history, fashion, music and dance, news and current affairs, and drama.

Publishers in the collection include Sony Pictures Classics, BroadwayHD, Milestone Films, BBC, Bloomberg, Canal+, CRM Learning, Discovery, CBS, HBO, Janus Films (Criterion Collection), Kantola, Medcom, National Geographic, NBC Universal, Opus Arte, Royal Anthropological Institute, First Run Features, and many more.

The trial runs until January 25, 2017. To access the trial, please visit: http://search.alexanderstreet.com/.

UCR Library encourages all users to share this link with their fellow UC Riverside students, faculty, and other researchers.
