The library has two main streaming video services: Kanopy and Films on Demand. Both require log-in when you are off campus, using your ACE account. For students, the username is your student ID number, and your password is: ElacMMDD (your birth month and birth date). To find streaming videos for your Japanese courses, try searching for Japanese as a keyword or limit the language selection to Japanese.
