Staff and students now have access to the e-cast education service (online TV content), with the library’s subscription active and authentication hopefully sussed.

The log in page is accessible from the A-Z library database list and the url may also appear on various Subject Guides as people see fit to add it.

Most content is held in the Ready to Watch section where programmes have been recorded from 31 TV channels, both free to air and pay to watch.

There will be an announcement in UC Diary this week aimed at staff users, and some info for students via the library home page soon.

At this stage students can view content online while staff can view online and download the .mov files. Staff can then use them according to the provisons of our screenrights licence.

I’m happy for people to refer any questions they receive about e-cast on to me in the first instance.
