Multimedia Center

This section of the web site will become fully operational in the coming year. Thanks to the generosity of several organizations that have donated materials free of charge, the Multimedia Center will include streaming video clips, film descriptions, links to instructional media catalogs, and more.

If you are interested in contributing videos, sounds, images, software, or other multimedia media materials, please click here. We have facilities to digitize, edit, and stream videos without charge, and if an excerpt of your film is chosen to be featured on this site, we are happy to give you a copy of the streamed video clip for display on your own web site.

If you are an instructor in search of video recommendations, please see the Teacher's Corner for a Sample Syllabus that pairs videotapes with specific topics. The Teacher's Corner also has a compilation of other syllabi, several of which list instructional videotapes.
