Featured Resource: Dance in Video (Trial Database)

In the past few years, faculty and student demand for visual/multimedia resources has increased. We currently have several databases on trial that provide media rich content including Dance in Video. Increasingly, these databases provide tools for creating selected "snippets" of videos, as well as personalized playlists that can be shared with others.

The example below illustrates how some databases provide embed codes for videos so you can insert them into other web pages such as a class page in Blackboard.
