With the recently signed licenses for Academic Video Online (AVON) and Swank, UCI Libraries has significantly increased the amount of individual videos available for streaming online by anyone with a UCINetID and a connection to the internet. AVON offers documentaries, film clips, archival footage, and many other types of video in a vast array of disciplines, such as Anthropology, Art, Counseling, Diversity Studies, Drama, Education, History, and Nursing. Swank, on the other hand, offers a carefully curated selection of 500 of the most requested Hollywood feature films. More information about these new databases, and many others, is on the Streaming Media Guide.

In collaboration with the UCI School of Social Sciences, UCI Cross-Cultural Center and UCI Student Affairs the UCI Libraries will launch an online portal for the collection of Freedom Train Stories in honor of Dr. Joseph L. White. We invite you to visit our Freedom Train Stories page to submit memories, stories, and materials including digital scans of photographs, letters, files, or other articles related to Dr. White and his broad impact. The UCI Libraries Special Collections and Archives will catalog and curate this material, preserving it for generations to come.
