Videos can be a rich source of information for research, adding visual, sound, and movement to illustrate concepts beyond what can be described in words. Feature films and documentaries on DVD are available in each campus library, and are listed in the library catalog along with the books. Streaming video can be accessed through the library databases. These range from short educational and historical film clips to full-length movies and documentaries. 

Use ArcherSearch to find the widest range of videos from the STLCC library collections, including DVDs at the campus libraries and streaming videos from our largest video and film databases.

The Films on Demand (FOD) database contains thousands of films and film clip segments on many topics. Films can be streamed and viewed in their entirety or by segment, making them ideal for presentations. Users can create a private and free user account to keep track of favorites and to create playlists.

You can search Films on Demand by using keywords in the search box, and then choosing one of options: film title, segment or transcript. FOD can also be browsed by topic. Look for FOD's Advanced Search option for more control over a search. Browse FOD's Art and Architecture Video Collection.
