Title return requests will not be processed outside of regular business hours.
You will receive an email when your media has been dropped off at the location you have specified.
As more free and low-cost streaming options have become available since the SML's creation and as we continue compliance with copyright law, only media that cannot be obtained through other streaming platforms will be processed for the SML.
At this time, currently active titles in the SML will continue to be available.

STEP 2: REQUEST STREAMING VIDEO THROUGH UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES If a title is not currently available through the library catalog, additional films may be added to the collection through Swank by request through the University Libraries.
If a feature film is available through Swank, the University Libraries can often make the film available in 24-48 hours.
Streaming video from the University Libraries' platforms can be linked or embedded into CarmenCanvas for a seamless student experience.
Consider using the expertise of subject librarians to locate alternative titles to meet course objectives.
Please be aware it may take several days to hear back from the University Libraries about the availability of your title. Do not proceed with the SML title addition request until you have confirmed from the University Libraries if they will purchase a title.
You can use a streaming search engine site such as JustWatch or Reelgood, to identify titles that are currently streaming online.
