Did you know that the Harper College Library has over 400 streaming videos available for you? The videos may be accessed by students and faculty members any place you have an Internet connection. If you are off-campus you will be prompted for a sign-on.  Simply use the same sign-on that you use for the student portal.  We recently made it easier to find your videos by adding access to them through the FilmsOnDemand database. Simply click on the FOD graphic (seen above) on the library home page and you will be taken into the database.  Video titles may be searched or you can browse through the titles by subject. We add new titles to this database each week so check back often to see what’s new.
