Trial to PBS Video Collection

Through May 17 we have trial access to the PBS Video Collection. The vendor, Alexander Street Press, provided this description of the content:

The PBS Video Collection assembles hundreds of the greatest documentary films and series from the history of the Public Broadcasting Service into one convenient online interface. A core of 245 titles, selected for their high quality and relevance to academic curricula, covers many educational disciplines, including history, science and technology, diversity studies, business, and current events. This collection provides access to the films and series users already know and trust, including Frontline, NOVA, American Experience, Odyssey, and films by Ken Burns and Michael Wood.

There are videos in here that might of use across a wide range of disciplines and is likely to be of interest with faculty in many departments. A link to the database can be found in the usual Trials tab on the Databases page.
