What is streaming media?

"Streaming media" refers to audiovisual content that can be accessed through computers or mobile devices with Internet capabilities. The University Libraries' streaming media collection offers a large selection of documentary, educational, and popular works. 

The Libraries have subscriptions to databases that contain streaming media.

You can find these resources through the Libraries' A-Z Databases & More page, which is available through the “Articles/Databases” tab on the Libraries’ webpage.

1. Search box: If you know the name of a specific database, you can enter it in the search box. (ex. Psychotherapy.net)

2. Subjects drop-down menu: This allows you to narrow resources by subject, then look for the streaming video or streaming audio icon in those subject-specific results (ex. Decision Sciences)

3. Resource Type drop-down menu: This allows you to narrow down your list of resources to those which are only in streaming format.

4. Resources Legend box: On the right-hand side, you will see a Resources Legend box. Click on the " Streaming Video"or " Streaming Audio" icons to see only those resources, or simply look for those icons as you use the databases page.

Please note: It is not necessary to download streaming video or audio files.
