Distributes online educational videos including documentaries, films, interviews plus a range of short video series. The videos are arranged by collections: Arts, Business, Communication/Media, Education (K-12), Health, Humanities, Science. Note: SJSU students, staff, and faculty: You will be asked to authenticate on and off campus. Kanopy uses copyright protection and DRM technology to block video streaming over platforms like Zoom. As a result, screen sharing is not permitted for restricted titles—viewers must watch individually, either outside of class or on their own devices during class. When screen sharing via Zoom, only the presenter is authenticated, so others will see a blank screen.

Also included is the Grants Index which is found under the Web of Science core collection drop down menu.
The electronic resource, RefWorks, helps set up bibliographies for papers in many style formats, e.g. APA, MLA, Harvard, etc. To get the Institutional code, please refer to the Passwords page for SJSU students on the library's Academic Gateway page.
There are some cases where the SJSU library does not have access to a journal article. You can use the Interlibrary Loan service, called ILLiad, to obtain an article. There is no charge for this service, but you must set up an account.
