Streaming media or DVD request

  • The UW Tacoma Library seeks to accomodate faculty requests for media materials when available and to the extent that funding allows. 
  • Please limit streaming requests to a maximum of 10 titles per course.
  • Please consider a contingency plan if we aren't able to license a film, or meet your required time frame.  Negotiating streaming agreements with new vendors can be time-consuming, sometimes taking weeks or months to complete.
A link to media information from the distributor, IMDB, OCLC, Amazon or other source can help us identify the correct title.
