<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As many of us prepare our courses for the Fall term, I would like to remind you that IST Media Resources provides streaming access to over 30,000 films and access to over 9,500 physical film resources(DVDs, VHS (yep!), and even good ol’
16mm). Content ranges from documentaries, feature films, shorts, animation, experimental film, recorded lectures (e.g. the UW Hagey Lecture Series), every single UW Convocation, and more.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:red">The key is to plan early</span>! Here are some handy tips:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The main Media Resources page is <a href="https://uwaterloo.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ISTSERV/pages/42582573128/Media+Resources+library">
here</a>. On it you will find several links:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0cm" type="disc">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">The
<a href="https://media.dymaxion.ca/display/082/wwk770">Media Resources Catalog Search Form</a>. This contains most – but not all – of the available resources. The platform is best described as ‘old’, and thus a bit cranky. For your search text, be careful of
correct spelling and, if no results come up but you think the film may be in the collection, try tweaking the spelling (maybe drop a plural ‘s’ or choosing one distinctive word in a title, etc.). If that doesn’t work, contact IST Media Resources at <span class="nolink"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif;color:#091E42"><a href="mailto:medialib@uwaterloo.ca">medialib@uwaterloo.ca</a></span></span>

including several feature film and doc platforms (Audio Cine Films, Digitalia Film, Criterion-on-Demand*, Kanopy*, etc.); Canadian platforms (TVO, CBC, National Film Board); thematic-oriented platforms (US Holocaust Memorial Museum, Psychotherapy.net, Mosfilm,
British Pathé newsreels) plus Ted Talks and the Internet Archive.<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:90.0pt">*Criterion-on-Demand and Kanopy require WatIAM authentication.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">A couple of notes about Kanopy:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0cm" type="disc">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">If you find something that may be of interest but you can’t access, press the ‘Request Access’ button and you should have access within a couple of days, if not sooner.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">If you have selected a film for your course, check a couple of weeks before you intend to show it to make sure it is still on Kanopy. Kanopy has an annoying habit of randomly removing
films….<o:p></o:p></li></ul>

process (there are the issues of finding a distributor and then trying to get the distributor to respond…)

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Film is a fantastic pedagogical resource but please remember to use it without violating copyright. While the above is a rather choppy way of tracking down films, keep in mind there are many gems available, plus you can request others through
IST Media Resources. IST Media Resources is now working, along with the Library, to improve access. <o:p></o:p></p>
