Audiovisual and multimedia
What is available?
The Main Library houses an extensive collection of feature films and television programs on DVDs, and computer games for multiple platforms which are located on Level 4.
You will find training and documentary DVDs on various topics shelved alongside the books.
In addition to the physical items, Bond students and staff are able to access a wide variety of online audiovisual resources through the Library’s electronic resources. This includes streaming video.
Searching for audiovisual resources
Many of the audiovisual resources available can be found in Library Search.
Pre-search filter
Video is one of the options you can specify before starting your search.
Content type filter
After searching, use the Content Type options to refine your search results. There are several different audiovisual types to choose from, and you can multiselect.
If the items do not have specific thumbnails you can also look out for content type icons like these:
Look for the "Map it" buttons to see floor plans with locations of items.
Research databases and tools
Another way to find the online and streaming audiovisual resources is the research databases and tools list. Filter the list by keyword for ‘video’ or ‘audiovisual’, or use the Content Type menu to select audio or video. You can choose which resource looks the most useful and then search it directly for content that meets your needs. This will include content which cannot be found in Library Search.
Content on the Internet
When using free, online audiovisual content be sure to check the terms and conditions of use, and that it does not infringe copyright. The Copyright for Students library guide can help with sources of legitimate music and other media.
