This guide provides tips, tools, and techniques for finding videos, creating clips and playlists, and linking to videos.
When linking video content from a library database, it is important to use a Permalink or "share" link rather than the URL in the address bar. There are multiple ways to access the permalink in a database, each platform has a slightly different look and access to the links.
A special note regarding Kanopy: please refer to the Kanopy tab for more information on the prices for titles and how faculty can request a title for required course viewing.
For specific questions on linking or a regarding our video collections, please contact Kelly Denzer at kedenzer@davidson.edu.
