Library : Filmmaking: Checking Out and Streaming Films

Blu-ray, DVD, and Video in the Catalog

Use LibrarySearch to find our video recordings collection. Two ways to look exclusively at video holdings:

Click Advanced Search to the right of the search box. Enter your keywords, click the drop down for Material Type, select Video/Film.
OR: Enter your search terms in the main search box on the library homepage, then use the left hand filter options: Resource Type > Video.

You can search for directors or actors specifically by name using the "Author" search or use a "Title" search to find films quickly.

Blu-rays and DVDs are available for check out on the 4th floor from our Media Library.
