Bush Library's collection development policy
lists our philosophy and practices for supporting research and curricular needs at Hamline University. Faculty are encouraged to submit recommendations for adding library materials to our collections.
You may link to our streaming video items by adding them into your Leganto Reading lists, as a permalink, or directly into your Canvas modules, using an embed code, or into a Google or Microsoft Word syllabus.
Additional Suggestions:
- When selecting to add a leased video to your syllabus or lists, check the lease expiration date in the HamCAT record to make sure the lease will still be active and accessible on the dates you want your students to view it.
- Some content links require off campus users to pass first through the library proxy server. You may need to add the following URL in front of the permalink provided on the vendor's site. https://ezproxy.hamline.edu/login?url=
- For example:
- Always use the static or permalink web address (URL) when selecting a link to add to your documents, or share with students. Reach out to your liaison librarian for assistance if you have trouble locating the permalink to an item. The location of the permalink for an item may vary in different search interfaces.
- With at least a minimum 2 weeks advanced notice, the library might opt to borrow a physical copy (DVD) of your streaming video from another library to provide you a chance to preview it, before we consider leasing the streaming version of your video.
- Some videos include closed captioning. Search the title in HamCAT to determine if your title includes this option.
- Some video content is only available in physical DVD format, or is so cost prohibitive that library funding cannot cover the streaming version. Speak to your liaison librarian to explore options.
- You may also find open access streaming video content on the web. Remember that this content can be modified or removed without notice.
