Over 60,000 academic videos.

The AVON database and videos are accessible through both the Alexander Street Press (ASP) platform and the Proquest Research platform.

The Proquest platform (the primary link) provides much better search capabilities, so that is the primary link we provide here.

Direct links to individual videos via OneSearch and Publication Finder will go to the ASP platform, as that platform has better features for making clips and persistent links to a specific time within the video.

Alexander Street Press Platform links:

• Link to Alexander Street Press platform for AVON
• Academic Video Online LibGuide:  The videos on how to use video interactions are on that page. Search syntax
