Film (including movies, television, and other moving picture media) is a valuable tool as part of many courses. The last decade has changed the terrain of how students and instructors view required films, with a strong preference for on-demand streaming over in-class or supplemental in-person screenings. Reed Library staff strives to provide the content needed for courses wherever possible and available. To that end, Reed Library continues to acquire access to licensed film content, available for streaming both through the library's website and in Canvas.

For material not currently in our collections, the Library will utilize its broad network of resources to obtain licenses for requested streaming media.

If the desired content is not available to license for streaming, instructors can check out physical media (e.g. DVDs) from the Library for in-class screenings or place them on reserve at the Library. Dedicated video players for viewing physical media are available for loan from the library.
