Video Streaming at Rutgers
Rutgers Libraries provides access to several video streaming services. The primary streaming services are Swank and Kanopy. View the below sections for details and access for each. To learn more about using these services or looking for titles using QuickSearch, visit the Libraries guide for course media.
Swank Digital Campus
Swank has an inventory of over 25,000 films, documentaries and TV shows to support classroom instruction.
Log into the Swank portal with your Rutgers NetID to see what is currently available. If Rutgers does not currently have access to a film you think Swank might provide, check for the film title in the Swank Digital Campus Inventory If you’d like the Libraries to obtain access to the film for use in your class, just add this to your Reserve Request Form.
Kanopy
Kanopy has an inventory of some 30,000 documentaries, as well as classic, foreign, and indie films. Producers include the Criterion Collection, New Day Films, California Newsreel, Kino Lorber, PBS, and First Run Features. Rutgers subscribes to a core collection of about 5,000 titles, which is then augmented by faculty requests. What is currently available can be found by searching QuickSearch or by searching/browsing the Kanopy platform. Once you are connected to the Kanopy platform, log into the “Rutgers Collection.”
