Using Find it!

Find It!
Under 'Refine My Results," go to "Material Type" and look for Audio/Visual - you might have to click on "more" to find this option. If your results list is still long, go to the top of the list, and next to SHOW ONLY, select "Full Text Online."

Using the Library Catalog

DVDs and streaming video owned by the Libraries can be searched through the Libraries' catalog or through Find it!.

However, be aware that because of how quickly our streaming video providers update content, the most complete results will be found by searching databases directly (such as Kanopy )

Keep the search at 'Keyword" search to search for videos and DVDs by topic.
Change the "Search Type" field to Author to search for director, producer, and leading actors.
Change the "Search Type" field to Title Keywords if you are not sure of the title
Use the "Video/DVD" link in the top area of the catalog to produce a browse-able list of video and DVD titles.
