Media library offers
films on demand
Trent Johnson
Staff Writer
Netflix isn't the only service
streaming films online. UNT's
Media Library offers students and
faculty numerous documentaries
in subjects from art to history
through Internet streaming.
Offering more than 400 films,
the library is expanding and
has received numerous requests
from both students and faculty to
keep adding content, head media
librarian Kim Stanton said. Free
streaming is accessible on any
computer, and users log in with
a UNT EUID and password. The
service is paid for by students'
tuition, and most films are avail-
able to everyone.
"With the growth of online
classes, it was important for us
to allow students to view films
without having to physically
come to the library," she said.
While the Media Library has
offered videos online since 2005,
the video on demand feature
debuted in 2008. The Media
Library website offers students
an avenue in which they can view
films that may be mandatory for
class, Stanton said.
"Right now, the collection has
mostly social sciences and arts
content," Stanton said. "But we
are currently trying to get hard
science films on there. We are
always trying to keep up with
the requests."
Even with the growing number
of films available, UNT isn't
switching over completely to the
on-demand service. The Media
Library still receives plenty of
requests for DVDs and even the

"A lot of people still like the
physical DVD," Stanton said.
"There are still a lot of advan-
tages to the physical copy, plus
we just don't have a big enough
infrastructure for us to go all in
online."

the service is the flexibility it

UNT students appreciate the
convenience of watching films
from wherever is best for them.
"I just think it's a great service
because sometimes we are short
on time," pre-biology junior
Michael Ogundipe said. "Some
of these films are a necessity for
class, and the more ways you can
access them, the better."
