*LIST of Library Information: Films on Demand Access

Films on Demand Search Box

Can I post links within Microsoft PowerPoint and Word?

For PowerPoint : You need to first log into Films on Demand on your default browser (the one that opens up automatically when you click links)  so the authentication cookie is loaded. 

Then when you click the FOD link in PowerPoint, it will open as if you put the link directly into your browser.

Use your MyFVTC password to log into Library Databases from Off campus.

What do I do if logging into the Films On Demand database doesn't work?

Common fixes:
1) Use Chrome browser (or Firefox)

2) Clear cache of your browser to eliminate error pages:
> Go to browser menu 
> History> Open History 
> Select all possible boxes 
> Delete everything for all time (Good practice in general to do at least once a week)

3) Reboot your computer

If that doesn’t work, then

  1. Enable cookies.
  2. Allow pop-ups.
  3. Update your browser.
  4. Try another browser.
