• 4,000+ closed-captioned video clips
• Faculty-friendly search interface
• Academic video across a range of core courses and topics
• Choice of Full or Per Discipline subscriptions

Colleges and universities that subscribe to the INTELECOM Online Resources Network® will have a rich selection of videos that they can easily find and embed directly into any CMS, PowerPoint presentations, faculty blogs and more. They will also benefit from Amigos member discounts and services.

“We are excited to partner with INTELECOM and are happy to offer their classroom video clips to Amigos’ academic members,” says Gerrye McEntire, Manager of Member Discount Services at Amigos. “Libraries who take advantage of the discounts available on these resources will provide faculty with an enhancement to their classroom instruction.”
