What? You don't know that you can watch free streaming videos through the library's catalog???
There are tons of free streaming videos available to current students, faculty, and staff at the University of Akron. And we're not talking about old movies that nobody wants to see. This week we're highlighting a fairly new release that has a lot of critical acclaim: Salmon fishing in the Yemen starring Emily Blunt, Ewan McGregor, and Kirstin Scott Thomas:
"A London fisheries expert is approached by a consultant to help realize a sheik's vision of bringing the sport of fly-fishing to the desert and embarks on an upstream journey of faith and fish to prove the impossible possible."

Steaming Video of the Week
Not getting enough football? Check out this week's free streaming video pick:
The Blindside
"Michael Oher is a homeless African-American teenager who is from a broken home. Mike is taken in by the Touhys, a well-to-do white family who help him fulfill his potential. At the same time, Oher's presence in the Touhys' lives leads them to some insightful self-discoveries of their own. Living in his new environment, Mike faces a completely different set of challenges to overcome-- as both a football player and student. Mike works hard and, with the help of his coaches and adopted family, becomes an All-American offensive left tackle."
