Red Carpet Edition
Kanopy is a streaming film database that includes all kinds of documentaries, independent movies, and classic films available to stream. It has over 300 Criterion Collection films, as well as movies in a variety of languages. It's pretty much our version of Netflix!
Kanopy isn't just for watching. It also allows you to create your own clips and playlists from the films to embed into a Canvas course or email to your class. Just remember that if you're using it off campus you will need your library card number and pin.
You can find Kanopy here or on the Library homepage.

Librarian Chris Burns created an amazing online guide to murals and street art. It includes articles, films, books, museums, and maps of murals in the SF Bay Area, as well as some excellent examples of murals around the world and a growing list of artists. If you've ever thought about becoming a street artist or muralists, or if you just like the art, this is the guide for you!

Construction!!!
You may have noticed that the library is looking a little wrapped up. Workers will be doing repairs all throughout building 9 this semester. You may hear more noise and some areas, like the group study rooms, will be temporary unavailable. We have ear plugs available to use and students can use the Social Science HUB (located behind the library's front desk) as a study space when it is free.
