LC Elevator: A new home for foreign language films

The Language Center and LATIS are pleased to announce that LC Elevator is now the home for foreign language films used by CLA language programs. At the newly renovated LC Elevator, you’ll find:

• Online streaming of over 1000 films
• Information about over 3000 films available for checkout
• Some instructional materials, many with supporting documents
• A small collection of authentic printed materials
• All of this in one convenient location

The Language Center is now responsible for:

• New digitization requests for foreign language films for instructional purposes
• Reservation and check out of all physical media (e.g. DVD) in the Language Center collection

Some restrictions may apply.

Foreign language streaming media that was previously found at the DCL can now be found at LC Elevator. Older DCL links will work through the academic year, but instructors are encouraged to begin replacing them with direct LC Elevator links.

The DCL is still open for business, and contains over 300,000 items, but has refocused on teaching and research collections.

The Language Center would like to thank Denne Wesolowski from the DCL for his work supporting language departments over the years, Colin McFadden from LATIS who made the migration as seamless as possible, and Rachel Cagle (formerly Faynik Marbell) who returned to the Language Center in August to prepare the collection for the new academic year.
