Click here to use Wofford OneSearch to limit your search (it can be by title, actor, director, keyword) to streaming videos. The videos are accessible to you on campus and off. They come from Kanopy, Academic Video Online, and other collections to which our library subscribes. When prompted for a username and password to access a given streaming video, simply enter your MyWofford credentials. [In this example, I have used the keyword search "surfing OR surfer OR surf."]
