Linking to Sources in Films on Demand

Follow the directions below to get links to videos from Films on Demand that will work later and from off campus. Do not use the URL in the browser address bar, it will lead to a generic Infobase login screen.

  1. From either the search results page or an individual video page, click the Share link for the video.
  2. In the Share pop-up panel, click Copy to copy the URL. The URL should include the main words of the video title. Use this address when citing this source and to return to this page in the future.
  3. Test your link! Paste the address into a new private browser window to make sure it works. (You should be prompted to log in again in the new private browser window.)

CAUTION: Make sure the share link URL includes the title of the film/clip you are intending to link to. The share link will be for the film/clip you started with or first clicked on from the search results page. The share URL does not update as you watch multiple clips (segments) from the same film.

Example: To link to a clip called "The Commercial Value of Coffee," the URL should contain those main words, such as https://access.infobase.com/clip/52065-commercial-value-coffee?aid=100853&brand=fod.

If the share URL doesn't match the title of your intended film/clip, search for the name of the film/clip you want, click on the correct item in the search results, and use that share link.

If you plan to post this link in D2L Brightspace, read about linking to library sources in D2L including how to embed videos from Films on Demand into D2L.
