You can find Films On Demand by scrolling down to Streaming Videos on the RCBC Library page or finding the database on our database page.
When logging in off-campus, you will be prompted to enter your 14 digit library barcode and your four digit pin. If you have any issues remembering your pin, please contact the library.
For the Spring 2020 semester, students can apply for a temporary barcode on the RCBC Library page. It is good for the duration of the semester. When physical classes resume, students will have to visit the library on campus to be issued a barcode.

When you click the button, you'll have the option to add the video to favorites, playlist, or a class.
For Favorites, you have the option to create a folder. If this is not done, all content will be available in a simple list.
When you create a playlist, you have the option to select segments of the desired video or put the entire video in a playlist.
I selected multiple clips by holding the control key and clicking. Once I had what I wanted, I added them to a playlist.
You can access you saved videos and playlist by going to My Content. All videos and playlist are ordered in the chronological date they were saved in.
The search bar for Films on Demand is located at the top of the page. You can search for specific titles, subjects, or people you are interested in.
Some videos on Films on Demand are broken into segments. They can be watched individually, or as part of the larger work. If something is a segment, Films On Demand will let you know.
As you can see above, you have the title of the video 'Marie Curie Introduction', followed by (Segment). The second line tells you what the larger work is called. You can click on the title to get more information about the larger film, or click the first link to watch the segment.
If something is the full video, you will see (Full Video) after the title.
By clicking the three horizontal lines next to the Films on Demand logo, you can access subjects, popular categories, and featured producers. Clicking view all under subjects brings you to a new page that list broad subjects on top, but narrowed subjects underneath.
As you can see, Engineering is our subject, with 533 videos in this category. It can be broken down into Bioengineering, Chemical Engineering, and a few other categories that are not pictured. You'll notice that Bioengineering and Chemical Engineering also have sub-categories to further narrow down the subject area.
Videos on this platform can be started by pressing the play button on the center of the screen. On the bottom of the video player, you can also adjust the volume, turn on closed captioning, and make the video fullscreen on the bottom of the player.
