Finding videos online

 

Hofstra University Library licenses streaming video titles to support the curriculum of the University. The Library does not license film titles for individual use. An educational license for a film can cost anywhere from $135 to $1000. The Library budget prioritizes film licensing for titles that will be assigned and used by multiple viewers for a particular course.
