Look for the film or video in our catalog

When viewing search results, you can filter by title, subject, language, and more.

See Tips for Using Library Search for more information on viewing and refining results. 

Finding video 

Your search results will generally include both physical copies and streaming versions of films and other videos. For more refined results, we recommend filtering your search by format:

  • visual material
  • motion picture
  • video (DVD)
  • video (Blu-Ray)
  • video (VHS) 

To find streaming versions of films, make sure the “Available online” option is selected as you view your search results.

You can directly explore our video databases, which contain recorded lectures, interviews, artistic performances, debates, films, documentaries, and more. 

Visit the Askwith Media Library on the second floor of Shapiro to check out physical copies of films for class or research. You can also look for the Place a future reservation option within Get This in Library Search.

Are you looking to create and edit a video of your own? See Edit Video to learn about equipment and software you can access at the library.
