BoB is Learning on Screen’s on demand TV and radio service for education.  It records programmes  from over 75 free-to-air channels on a 30-day rolling EPG; and has a searchable archive of over 2.2 million broadcasts. You can watch entire programmes or films, make clips of sections, create your own playlist of items.  Programmes are recorded as per broadcast consitions, so will include ad breaks in commercial stations, and occasionally, may also include programmes with signing for hard of hearing - although there is usually an earlier version broadcast without signing.

Searching for Non-Book Media

The Library has a considerable collection of DVDs, Blu-ray Discs, CD-ROMs, Videos and other non-book media.  They are searchable in the Library catalogue in the same way as books. Search as normal and then use the Format filter on the left hand side to see those items which are available on CD, video or DVD. For help in searching see the Guide to the Library catalogue.
