Faculty Guide: Embedding Library Resources

In Academic Video Online:

1. Log in to the database Academic Video Online
2. Locate the video that you would like to embed in the database.
3. Open the video by clicking on the title.
4. Click the Share option under the video details.

5. The share options will open under the information. To get the embed code, click the "Copy" button located next to the embed code (middle option). The button turns green when it is copied to your clipboard.

In D2L:

1. Open your course in D2L to the place where you want to embed the video.
2. Select New and then choose Video or Audio from the drop down. The "Add Video or Audio" box will pop up.

3. Paste the embed code into the top box & enter a title for your video.

4. Click Save. (Don't worry if you see an error message in the preview spot. Sometimes this happens.)
5. The Video will appear directly in D2L.

Videos embedded into D2L will appear directly on the D2L page where they are placed. Since the video is from a library database, students will need to login to view the video from off-campus. 

The LSCS Libraries Authentication Page will appear before the video can play.

Students and faculty can use one of two methods to login:

1.  14 digit library barcode number from the back of their Lone Star College ID. (Online students can request a library barcode number through the Library Barcode Form.)
2. myLoneStar Email Address and Password

Once the students have entered the information, the video will start to play.
