Finding Videos in the Library

The Library collections include a variety of video materials in several formats (DVDs, VHS, streaming). You can find these using the Library Catalog, as illustrated in the two basic strategies outlined below. While several campus libraries hold videos, the largest physical collection (primarily in DVD format) is located in the Uris Library Dean Room. Many VHS tapes are stored in the Library Annex but they do circulate; use the library-to-library delivery option when requesting these through the Catalog.
