TRANSCRIPTED
Library Resources
Transcripted credit instructors and students have the same level of access to NWTC learning
resources (libraries, laboratories, databases, etc.) as post-secondary students and instructors.
How Do I Find Library Materials? How Do I Access Films On Demand?
If you are teaching NWTC coursework in high school,
you and your students have access to NWTC Library
Resources, please see below for more information: • You can use Library Search to find online videos, or
you can visit our Films on Demand guide and use the
link provided there – nwtc.libguides.com/films
• Use Library Search (located at nwtc.edu/
Library) to search all of the NWTC Library’s
resources at once or to just search the Catalog
(No Articles) or the online Journal List. • If you search Films on Demand directly, your
results will show both titles (entire videos)
and segments (video clips). You can use the
links on the right to limit your results.
• After searching, you will see a resource list that allows
you to filter the results on the left side of the screen.
You can limit by resource type, location, date, subject,
and more. You can even limit right away to Films on
Demand online videos or eBook Central Access ebooks. • When you find videos you like, remember to scroll
down and click on Embed/Link under the video
to see the Record, Title or Segment URL. Copy
that URL to share with students or to save (never
use the URL at the top of your browser since it
will not work off-campus). You could also use the
Embed Code to embed the video directly into
Blackboard Learn (just copy the code, create a
new item in Blackboard Learn, switch to HTML
Code View, and paste in the Embed Code).
• You can use the Advanced Search feature to limit to
discipline before searching. This helps when you are
searching for articles and want to focus the search on
subject-specific databases. You can even limit right
away to items from Films on Demand or Ebook Central.
• The Catalog Only search is useful when you
do not want to see all of the journal articles
in your results. It provides results for anything
that the Library has cataloged (books, ebooks,
videos, online videos, audio, and journals).t
The NWTC Library has created a series of
very short videos to help students learn the
software skills needed to succeed at the
College (using the student portal, email,
Blackboard, Office 365, printing, finding and
citing sources, accessing help, and saving files).

• You are also able to create playlists or save
videos in folders if you first create your
own free account in Films on Demand.
How Do I Access Ebook Central?
• You can access Ebook Central through
Library Search or by going directly to
ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/nwtc-ebooks.
• You will need to login with your NWTC ID and password
when you start to open ebooks or if you wish to
save books to your bookshelf or make notes.
• You can read books online or download
pages or chapters to share with your
students in Blackboard or via email.
