2. By searching Discover
Another way to find videos is by searching Library Discover and filtering your results by Material Type - Videos on the right-hand side of the screen.
Click on 'Available online' underneath the title you wish to access, and you will usually be taken straight to the video.
Don't forget to make sure you are logged into the platform hosting the video, in this example HS Talks. Look for an instruction such as 'Login via your organisation/institution' and log in with your LJMU username and password. This will ensure you get access to the full video and not just to a limited-length demo version.
Please note: Collaborative partner access to library resources varies from partner to partner and resource to resource. Collaborative Staff and Students (Collaborative Partners) may not have access to all library resources.
