Durham University Library

We have some more trials to electronic resources.
They are:
Title : Academic Video Online
... Description : Academic Video Online is the most comprehensive video subscription available to libraries. It delivers more than 62,000 titles spanning the widest range of subject areas including anthropology, business, counseling, film, health, history, music, and more.
URL : http://ezphost.dur.ac.uk/login…
Title : Underground and Independent Comics, Comix and Graphic Novels
Description : Comics have become an increasingly popular area of academic study, and yet the typical library has only a small selection of graphic novels in the catalog. Underground and Independent Comics solves this problem, collecting thousands of comics-many extremely rare and hard to find-in one, easy-to-use online collection.
URL : http://ezphost.dur.ac.uk/login…
Both trials are available on or off campus and available until 20th June 2020.
