Using the Library During Closures

This guide provides resources and information for using Library resources to continue making academic progress along with leisure resources during periods of campus closure.

Access to Books & Magazines

During campus closures the Library team is unable to circulate physical materials from the collection. However, as members of the Full Sail community you have access to a variety of films available through two videostreaming services: Swank Digital Campus and Kanopy Videostreaming.

Swank Digital Campus

Full Sail Library provides access to films through Swank Digital Campus. These are full-length features and documentaries selected by instructors to complement class materials. Swank films are intended for educational use only; we do not have public performance rights for any of the selected films.

How to Access and Play Swank Films:

  1. Use the library's server at https://oclc.fullsail.edu. You'll be prompted to enter your Full Sail credentials (email and password).
  2. When the menu loads select Swank Digital Campus from the list.
  3. The first time you access the Swank platform you will be required to register for an account. This provides tools and resources designed for your role (student or instructor).
  4. Select your status as either Student or Faculty and complete the registration.
  5. Browse or search for the title you want to view and click on the image.
  6. The media player will load and you'll be able to view the film.

Swank Films are optimized for use with Google Chrome. If you are using the Chrome browser you will not be required to download any additional media players or apps.
