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 (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 and award winners. 

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

(Yes, Spanish instructors, Volver is here!)

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

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

For comparison: 

Publishers you can't access via Films on Demand: Dow Jones (starting Feb. 2019), Milestone Films, Bloomberg Media Distribution, 60 Minutes, BroadwayHD, Sony Pictures Classics, Dallas Learning Solutions, Wiley's For Dummies, IFC Films, Assoc. for Supervision and Curriculum Dev. (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…

As with all our library databases, you’ll use your Durham Tech username and password to access it off-campus (same as you'd use for Sakai or Self-Service).

As always, if you have questions, you can connect with a librarian!   We’re happy to help you find your answers.
