PBS Videos Available Online - Anytime, Anywhere

NC LIVE, the state consortium that provides us with so many wonderful information resources, has recently launched a media collection that includes over 200 videos that can be accessed and played over the Internet. The collection includes high quality PBS videos such as Ken Burns’ "The Civil War," "Baseball," and "Jazz," selected episodes from "American Experience" and "Frontline," and many more.

These videos can be viewed any time, anywhere; at home, in the classroom, in the Library! Users will need Flash Media Player 9.0 or higher and a high-speed Internet connection to play the videos. Off-campus users will also need the NC LIVE password to access the videos.

The current list of titles is outstanding. And, 150 more files will be added in late January, so be sure to check back to see what new videos are available.
