With almost 68,000 streaming videos covering subject areas such as business and economics, education, science, nursing, counseling and therapy, classical music, sports medicine, theatre, engineering, religion, and LGBTQ studies, you may have already used the library’s subscription to Academic Video Online (AVON) for class assignments, but did you know it also has many videos you can watch just for fun? Included in the collection are videos from the A&E television network, the BBC, PBS, the History Channel, London’s Royal Opera House, Live from Stratford-upon-Avon the Royal Shakespeare Company, and the Discovery Channel, just to name a few.

To sample some of these more entertaining videos, I asked several library staff members what some of their favorites are in AVON, and their choices reflect the variety of options available.

The acclaimed African American dance company Lula Washington Dance Theatre will perform at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 11 in the Viterbo University Fine Arts Center Main Theatre.
