Alexander Street Academic Video Online (AVON)

Can’t get enough streaming video?

You’re in luck--the Durham Tech Library now has more online video content! 

AVON(link is external) (Academic Video Online) is a new library database we’re excited to offer.  It features 70,000 searchable, citable, closed captioned titles spanning a wide range of subject areas (allied health, art, automotive technologies, business, counseling, communication studies, criminal justice, engineering, history, psychology, sociology) and even feature films(link is external) and award winners. 

Want to see some of AVON's options? Keep reading! 

(Yes, Spanish instructors, Volver is here!)

Like the Films on Demand(link is external) streaming video database (also offered by the Library), AVON is in our library databases list(link is external). 

While both the AVON and Films on Demand databases have content in common, much is unique to AVON. 

For comparison:

(ASCD), Microtraining Associates. Mutual Content Providers: CNN (starting Feb. 2019), A&E Networks, PBS, BBC, Media Rich Learning, First Run Features, VEA, Annenberg Learner, National Geographic, Oscilloscope Pictures, MacNeil/Lehrer…
