Video-On Demand Collections
Video-On-Demand or VOD is access to videos through the computer, either
from CD-ROMs, DVDs or online, through the internet.
Also called "Video Streaming" it is a method for transferring
video without
downloading, therefore there is no excessive use of your hard drive.
QuickTime,
Real Player and
Windows
Media are the main players
required for multimedia streaming. Some sites specify a
player to use. Read
the systems requirements for each video provider for technical details to
enhance your viewing. You may experience difficulty during the peak hours, between 10:00am ~ 3:00pm.

Feature Films
To broaden the scope of the films we can use in the classroom, GBC Library Learning Commons has negotiated licenses with Audio-Cine Films (ACF) and Criterion Pictures.
These special Educational Public Performance Licenses allow thousands of feature films to be shown at the college for educational purposes without any further payment. Educational purposes are defined as classroom presentations or coursework related.
Any legal copy of a feature film covered by the License can be shown at George Brown, including videos/DVDs from a video store, public library or personal collection.
To determine if a feature film is covered by the License, search the online catalogues of the two distributors covered by the License:
If you show a film from one of the producers covered by the license in the classroom, no further copyright permission is required but you must report the showing of this film using the following form: Feature Films Shown in the Classroom
Please send, fax, or e-mail the completed form to:
