Q. Does COM Library have any documentaries?

Yes we do! We have a few DVDs, but most of our sources are streaming. If you go to our A-Z Databases: Streaming you'll find a collection of streaming sources that specialize in archival or documentary films (see all links below).

Films on Demand (FOD) is the best source. There are over 28,000 streaming videos including HBO documentaries as well as other producers such as BBC, PBS and lots more. FOD can be streamed on or off campus 24/7. When off campus COM Students, faculty and staff can login with their COM ID and last name. Faculty can easily grab a durable URL for any title to share with students. Go to the Films on Demand page of the Enhance Your Courses with Library Resources guide for faculty to find out how. We can also order many titles Swank (also listed on the -Z Databases: Streaming page) if nothing in FOD works for you. 

Many on the A-Z Databases: Streaming list are open access that anyone can watch for free.
