NEW RESOURCE!

UCI Libraries now has access to the third volume of the National Theatre streaming video collection! Enjoy exploring all 20 productions available through this great resource.

Note that we also have access to the first and second volumes of this collection, but they're through a different vendor, so be sure to check on both Alexander Street (for volumes 1 and 2) and Bloomsbury/Drama Online (for volume 3).

DISCOVER PLAYSImage result for TAGPACKER

 

Tagpacker. Browsing for plays to read can be difficult. This homegrown site lists most of the plays added to the UCI Libraries since 2010. You can sort the plays by number of cast (including gender); playwright demographics like ethnicity, sexuality, nationality, and gender; major themes, etc. Each play listing includes a summary of the play, a link to the library's record, and a link to the Google Book preview if available. More information about locating specific plays or accessing our many online play databases are on the Online Plays page.

 RESEARCH ARTICLES

 

 

CONNECT WITH VPN

 

If you're researching off campus then you will need to login to the UCI VPN for authentication through the campus network. There are three different methods: Software, Web, and Mobile. Software takes a little more time to setup the first time, but it works with all resources. Web is known to not work well with many of the streaming media resources.
