Is closed captioning available?

Yes, our Swank library should only carry titles with closed captioning. 

How long are films activated in the Digital Campus Portal? 

Films are available for one year from their start date and may be reactivated for additional years. Films MUST be renewed every year. They do NOT renew automatically. 

Can I use one of the currently activated films in the Digital Campus Portal if I did not request it? 

Yes, all member of the Moorpark College Library can view any activated film in our directory. 

Can I stream on my mobile device? 

Yes, but both Android and iPhone devices require the Swank Media Player app to play any videos from the directory. 

 

If there are titles that you would like to use in your courses, please:

  1. Check in the Swank catalog (https://www.swank.com/digital-campus) to see if they are available.
  2. Once you have selected your recommendations for film titles, send the list to Danielle Kaprelian via email (dkaprelian@vcccd.edu) and the librarians will review the titles and request as we are able to.

We are currently limited to requesting 50 titles which will have a one year license. We are looking to request more if this service proves to be popular.

 

Thank you in advance for helping us build a collection that is centered around your students and their needs!
