Academic Video Online (AVON)

Academic Video Online (AVON) is a collection of over 80,000 streaming videos in a wide variety of academic areas, including anthropology, art & design; business; criminal justice; diversity studies; education; gender & sexuality studies; health sciences; history; literature & language; music, dance, theatre, & performing arts; psychology & counseling; science & engineering; social sciences; and more. The collection includes videos from over 1,500 leading distributors, producers, and filmmakers, such as 60 Minutes /CBS, PBS, BBC, NBC, Intelecom, Insight Media, Microtraining, Filmakers Library, Envision, Inc., Stanley Milgram, Dallas Telecourses, and Davidson Films. A searchable transcript accompanies each video. Index terms are assigned to each video to aid in searching. Academic Video Online is a subscription collection, and new titles are regularly added. On a semiannual basis, a small number of titles are removed from the collection due to Alexander Street’s changing agreements with film distributors.

Academic Video Online may also be cross-searched with many ProQuest resources in ProQuest One Academic.
