As the Digital Resources Librarian, I focus on facilitating access to the university libraries' digital collection in support of teaching, research and learning at Wichita State University Libraries. I manage collection of over three million electronic books, journals and streaming titles, as well as over 300 research databases. I work to ensure WSU affiliates are able to connect to these materials through a variety of discovery points, including the library home page, Google Scholar, Blackboard and even from within other research databases, both on campus and off through management and maintenance of libraries' content and content delivery tools. I also work with content vendors to improve user interfaces of research platforms to help make online platforms more accessible and usable for all users. Please contact me if you have questions or issues accessing research articles, streaming videos, database searching and anything regarding connecting to library resources.

Swank Motion Picture video streams require that the playback devices support Widevine Digital Rights Management (DRM). Customers have reported that classroom presentation boards made by:
...may not support the required DRM. This can occur when you are using the internal Android operating system on the presentation board.
We suggest using another device such as a laptop or desktop computer as a streaming source and using the external video input on the equipment to facilitate playback. This should bypass the internal operating system and use the board simply as a monitor.
If you are using a laptop and the output is still an issue or you are getting an HDCP error, you can change your monitor settings from "mirror" monitors to "extend" monitors, and drag the playback window to the external screen. This should allow playback without error.
* Users of Vivi systems report that video playback works through Vivi Screen Sharing, but not the Play Video feature.
** Users of Newline displays report that playback works when used with HDMI connected Chromebooks
