We now offer access to streaming movies for academic use, obtained through Swank Digital Campus. Swank partners with major Hollywood studios, documentary providers, independent filmmakers and international film companies to provide a diverse library. The wide range of titles ensures all academic departments can find the mov-ies needed to promote active and engaged learning in their classrooms.

There are currently 21 titles. We purchased ability to have up to 40 titles. If there is a film you’d like us to license you can initiate the request yourself via your SWANK ac-count or contact Stephanie Conley.

How to make a SWANK account: Navigate to the address above, select your role and follow on screen instructions.

How to insert a video in GO: select the video, click the share button, and select the option you want and then paste into GO.

These films are to be used during class, in GO and within small club meetings, but not for wider campus showings.
