Where Do I Find Articles?

Tips for using Films on Demand

- Browse - You can browse subject titles by choosing Subjects from the menu at the upper left of the home page. Choose "view all" to see a page of subjects with subcategories, or click on a subject and then pick a subcategory from the drop down menu next to the subject heading.
- Transcripts - Many titles provide transcripts which can be helpful when citing. Click on the word transcript at the upper right of the video. You can search for a term within a transcript to more easily find relevant information.
