<\/a><\/div>\n

Our streaming video collections got even better this month with a few additions we want to share with you \u2013 including a rotating collection that’s only up for a limited time.<\/p>\n

Firstly, we have two big new titles available to stream. When the Levees Broke<\/i>, Spike Lee’s documentary about the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, is now available on Films on Demand<\/a>, and the award-winning Argentinian film La Historia Oficial<\/i> is available through Kanopy<\/a>. These films are often favorites for courses at AU, and we hope having them available streaming makes them more accessible.<\/p>\n

But for our biggest addition, we’ve opened the doors to our collection through Swank Digital Campus. Swank allows us to license feature films, but previously we could only share these titles with individual pre-approved classes. Now the collection is available for the AU community to watch for free, including big classic movies like The Godfather<\/i><\/a>, Dr. Strangelove<\/i><\/a>, and All The President’s Men<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n

(The caveat is that we can only license Swank titles for a year at a time, so some of them will expire over the course of the year. Watch them early!)<\/p>\n

We know that streaming plays a huge role in how people consume media, so we’re excited to bring you more and more of these sorts of high-profile movies through the library.\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
