Request for Streaming Videos for Course Use

1. Due to the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) guidelines, streaming videos are only for course use.
2. Streaming film requests are usually a lengthy process due to several factors, including the time taken to trace and contact the copyright owners, obtaining the IMDA film rating for unrated films, and negotiating for the institutional streaming license.
3. Please note that institutional streaming licenses for popular and major feature films, movies, and TV shows are almost impossible to obtain as the individual copyright owners or film companies may not respond, or they reject the Library’s requests for the institutional streaming license. You may consider using the DVD version instead.

• • If the DVD is available, you may use the Central Library Seminar Room or borrow the DVD from the library to screen the film during your class.
  • To book the Central Library Seminar Room, please email loans@nus.edu.sg.
  • To submit a request to borrow the DVD out of the library for your class screening, please use the Book Media Materials for Teaching eForm.
