Box of Broadcasts (BoB)

Box of Broadcasts now available offshore

The Library subscribes to Box of Broadcasts (BoB), which is an archive of TV and radio broadcasts going back to the 1990s.

We have recently started participating in a pilot programme to provide BoB access to our students based outside the UK. Previously access was not possible outside the UK due to licencing restrictions. However lecturers can now make some content available via a Global Playlist (instructions are in our new Box of Broadcasts user guide).

There are still some restrictions, e.g. feature films released from 2000 onwards may not be made available to offshore students. However, this could still be a useful resource for our students at offshore campuses, distance learning students based overseas and students travelling overseas.

If you have any questions about Box of Broadcasts, please contact your Academic Liaison Librarian: library@stir.ac.uk.
