We have a great tutorial with instructions for searching either of the video streaming resources and adding links to a Blackboard Course page so students can watch the films for an assignment. 

Films on Demand is a web-based digital video delivery service that allows you to view streaming videos from Films Media Group.  There are more than 5,500 educational titles in dozens of subject areas. 

American History in Video includes more than 2,000 hours of streaming video and more than 5,000 titles in all.  Included in this collection are more than 1,000 hours of newsreel footage from the 1890s to the 1980s.  Also, included are documentaries from companies like the History Channel. The above tutorial also contains information about linking these videos to your Blackboard classroom site.

Lastly, Theatre in Video contains more than 250 of the world’s most important plays, together with approximately 100 video documentaries. These videos include a number of Shakespeare productions and famous play productions with famous actors like Orson Welles.  Contact us at 739-6891 or wcc-library@waynecc.edu for more information about using any of these film collections or with any other research questions!

One of our newest databases is Nursing@Ovid, full of timely and authoritative information for nursing faculty and students. Full-text content of over sixty nursing journals can be cross-searched or browsed in this new database.  Other relevant medical databases are also linked for simultaneous searching through the Nursing@Ovid interface.  A particularly interesting feature of Nursing@Ovid is the electronic journal tables of contents (eTOCs) option. With eTOCs you can track changes in a selected journal’s table of contents, or be notified when the newest issue is available to view, by setting up your own RSS feed or e-mail alert. Visit the WCC library webpage to access this database, as well as one or more of the many other research databases now available. Contact us at 739-6891 or wcc-library@waynecc.edu for more information about using any of these databases, or with any other research questions!

We are excited to announce a new way for you to access the many databases we have here at the WCC Library. Starting Monday August 3rd, 2009 you will be able to access the databases using just your library card barcode. We are now using a service called EZ Proxy and you will no longer have to worry about remembering one or more user names and passwords. If you do not have a library card barcode, you will want to make sure that you get one. You can get a library card barcode at the Library Circulation desk. If you have any questions about EZ Proxy, ask a library staff member at the Circulation desk, call us at 919.739.6891, or ext. 6891 on-campus, or drop us an e-mail at wcc-library@waynecc.edu.
