Academic Video Online (AVON)

Feb 9, 2022

The Academic Video Online (AVON) is the most comprehensive streaming video source available to libraries. It delivers over 70,000 documentaries, feature films, and other titles spanning the widest range of subject areas including anthropology, business, counseling, film, health, history, music, and more.

In addition to the breadth and depth of content, Academic Video Online offers a wide range of platform tools for learning, research, and teaching, including:

  • Transcripts. Users view searchable, scrolling transcripts alongside many titles and continue to be added monthly.
  • Clipping functionality. Users can easily create, annotate, and share video clips and playlists, and can embed them in third-party sites.
  • HD-quality player. A video player with a 16:9 aspect ratio that streams up to 2.5 mbps allows for optimized high-definition viewing.
  • Comprehensive permissions. Our platform enables in-class, on-campus, and remote viewing.
