4. Optional additional filters (depending on the search results):

  • Resource Type will let you filter for specific formats like DVD, Blu-rays, Film reels, or Videocassettes.

  • Availability will let you filter by either Held by Library or Available Online if you prefer a physical item or a streaming video.

5. Accessing the video you find:

  • online: Click the Available Online link (in pink); if you do not go directly to the video, click the database that appears under View Online in the item's record.

     
  • physical: Follow the provided directions (in pink); if it is a DVD, don't forget to write down the DVD number for our staff.
