Q. How do I search for a film or video in the library?
There are two primary ways to access films or videos through the library:
1. Physical copies of films. These are mainly located in the 1st floor of the TFDL in the regular stacks. Some physical films will be located at other branch locations.
To search the physical collection, choose the Advanced Search option. Click on “UofC Collections” and ensure the Search Scope is “Physical Collections.”
From there, select “Audio Visual” for the item type before searching for your title or topic.
2. Access the film through an online streaming video database.
These include:
- Education in Video
- Theatre in Video
- Dance Online
- World History in Video
- Films on Demand
- Curio
- Ethnographic Video Online

To search for both physical DVDs and online video content, choose the Advanced Search option. Under “Quick Search,” select “Audio Visual” for the item type before searching for your title or topic.
