Digital Campus Films is a streaming service provided by Swank Motion Pictures that allows access to course-assigned feature films and documentaries outside of the classroom. The films available through Digital Campus have been chosen for instructional use by faculty from Swank’s film library, but once uploaded to the database they may be viewed by the entire university community. Only instructors can request to have titles added to the database. Because this service is maintained to support classroom instruction, the films available through Swank will vary from semester to semester, as will the expiration dates for individual titles. Once a film is uploaded to the database it is available for viewing by the entire university community. Faculty who would like to license a film for their courses should contact Public Services Librarian Robert Young. Additional information about Digital Campus is available through the "Digital Campus : Hollywood Feature Films Streamed for QU Courses" library guide.
