CCC libraries subscribe to 3 streaming databases to support instruction across our campuses: AVON, Kanopy and Swank. See below for more information about each platform.
Please complete this form to request a title for streaming. We welcome instructor requests for media to support the curriculum and will attempt to fill all such requests, if possible. There may be circumstances (e.g. licensing restrictions, budgetary concerns, etc.) that prevent us from purchasing requested items. Please note that some titles may be unavailable for the library to purchase or license. Please see our streaming policy for more information.
The best option for sharing streaming videos with students is to give them the direct link to watch on their own device. All of our streaming platforms can be accessed on and off campus by all CCC faculty, staff, and students.
