Links to individual film titles and segments can be shared with your students via Blackboard or your personal website. Off-campus users will be prompted to login.
An active ICC network account is required for off-campus access to ICC Library subscription resources and databases, including online articles, streaming video, and e-books. When accessing these resources from off-campus, users will be prompted to log in with their ICC username and password to view resources.
ICC usernames are the first part of your ICC email address, without the @lab.icc.edu part. Passwords are ICC (all capital letters) and the last five digits of your social security number.
If you do not know your login and password, please contact the Library's Reference Desk at 309-694-5355 or 309-690-6837 and we will be more than happy to assist you.
Please email library@icc.libanswers.com if you have questions about streaming videos for courses.
Library staff is also available to help with most questions during open hours. Call, email or chat with us!
Chat is located in the yellow box at the bottom of all pages.
