SU Libraries supports several streaming video collections from Alexander Street Press (a ProQuest company). Some examples include databases such as Education in Video, Counseling & Therapy in Video, Filmakers Library and Ethnographic Video Online. Below is an example, using the case of a documentary from Alexander Street's Ethnographic Video Online and ethnographer, Phil Agland, covering lives of an African family in the rainforests of Cameroon.
- Copy the URL for the browser window for the video of interest
- In this case that URL is https://video-alexanderstreet-com.libezproxy2.syr.edu/watch/baka-a-cry-from-the-rainforest?context=channel:ethnographic-video-online-foundational-films and should work for on-campus as well as off-campus video access for all current SU NETID holding students, staff or faculty
- Alternatively, the Alexander Street database item records contain buttons labeled "cite this video." See an example depicted below from a film about urban music education and teaching of the violin to children from South Central Los Angeles. The "cite this video" button will provide a bibliographic citation in a citation style of one's choosing and a subsequent clickable button to "copy citation." The URLs in those citations are properly proxied for the SU subscription and can be embedded and shared, offering title level access for on-campus as well as off-campus viewing for all current SU NETID holding students, staff or faculty
