Broken/bad links to Films on Demand and SWANK video titles with WORKAROUNDS!

From Mary Ann: 

With Films on Demand: links and videos embedded in iCollege (at PC) prior to merge no longer work.  

• To resolve the issue, the person will need to go to Films on Demand using the GSU Link and find the video be searching title. Instructors will find the new link/embed codes as before. 

Here are instructions from Denise Dimsdale about adding the GSU proxy to create links:http://research.library.gsu.edu/c.php?g=115605&p=753212

Here is a document from Sonya about linking/embedding Films on Demand videos in iCollege:http://research.library.gsu.edu/ld.php?content_id=7446454 

SWANK:  The links from previous semesters are not working; we need to give instructors a new link.  They can place a request using this form: http://www.libsurveys.com/loader.php?id=b9d8c130b3706a8ba1e4e755fd1ce35a   If they do not want to wait, they can use method two….

SWANK WORKAROUND

PC patrons: go to http://ezproxy.gpc.edu/login?url=http://digitalcampus.swankmp.net/gpc313757   

Log into the database to access most of the SWANK films we have licensed.  

Exceptions are Disney-related films (Doctor, Mr. Holland’s Opus, Royal Tannenbaums, andTombstone) – They still need direct links for those.  

The problem happening with this method is that patrons are getting a security warning related to the proxy link.  They have to accept the “risk” to get to the GPC e-resources log in page.  Then they must enter their GPC username and password.  We are not sure if new PC students have a separate GPC username and password – theoretically they can retrieve it if they have a #900.  Kat Hart is trying to resolve this issue, probably by getting a generic username and password for this purpose.

Here is a guide that lists our SWANK films. It includes the form for instructors to request access links and information about using SWANK films: http://research.library.gsu.edu/swank
