New Database: Academic Video Online

After a brief trial, we now have access to a CUNY-wide subscription to Academic Video Online. The 73,000 videos in this collection are now all discoverable within OneSearch or by going directly to the landing page of the database, which is linked to on the A-Z databases page and the “Videos and Movies” database page.

If you go directly to the landing page for the database, you can browse the collection by scrolling down on that page. Another more fine-grained subject browse is available by following these steps:

Go to the landing page using our database link on the A-Z databases page

Click on the menu icon (the three stacked lines icon in the top left corner of the screen) to get to the navigation options:
