What is JoVE?

Troubleshooting
Dear student, if you encounter a JoVE video or test that you are supposed to access but you can't view the entire video, please do not sign up for free trial or fill up the recommendation form. Instead, follow the steps below. If you still face issues, use the Ask a Librarian e-form.
Scenario 1: I can't view the JoVE videos I'm supposed to watch.
Please login to access JoVE from the TP Library website or click here. You can watch JoVE videos in school or at home, as long as you login using the unique links for TP listed above (do not Google for Jove and try to login!). When you do so, JoVE authenticates you as a TP student or staff, and you will be able to view the videos that we subscribe to.
After you've signed in, search for the video you are supposed to watch, following the steps on the left of this page.
Scenario 2: I received an email about a JoVE test but I can't access it at home.
You need to create a personalized JoVE account in order to access JoVE tests at home. Set up an account using your TP student email.
When you receive the JoVE tests invitation from your teacher, click on the second link and sign into JoVE using the JoVE log in account you have created.
