Streaming Video Databases

Did you know that the Mudd Library subscribes to multiple streaming video resources? These resources cover theatre, opera, newsreels, documentaries, and much, much more.  Like many of our databases, these can be accessed on campus or off campus with a Lawrence University login.

Digital Theatre Plus is a collection of British performances, cast and crew interviews, learning resources, theory and criticism, and more. Plays and productions range from theatre to film to dance, covering many genres and time periods. The number of performances and resources available in this database has greatly expanded since we subscribed a couple of years ago, so now’s a great time to take another look!

Met Opera on Demand contains video and audio access to over 600 performances from the Metropolitan Opera. Performances date up to the current year, and can be searched by opera title, composer, or artist.

Academic Video Online is a vast collection of videos that covers an extensive range of subject areas and video types. This collection contains news reports, documentaries, music & performing arts, newsreels, instructional materials, health sciences resources, and more. Database features include the ability to clip and share videos, searchable transcripts, and the option to send to mobile.

Be sure to take a look at these amazing resources brought to you by your friends in the Mudd Library!
