Film & Video Collection materials can be requested in-person or online:
- You may check out DVDs, Blu-rays, video games, etc. from the Collection by coming to the Help Center desk and asking staff to retrieve the item for you (it may take a few minutes).
- You may also place a request for an item by logging in to DELCAT and clicking Request in the item’s DELCAT record. You’ll receive an email notification when your request is ready to pickup at the Help Center on the first floor of Morris Library (usually within 24 hours).
The Library, Museums and Press offers scheduling services for Film & Video Collection items to instructors to facilitate booking media for courses in advance, as well as a Viewing Room which can be booked for class sessions utilizing Library media. You may also view or play materials on site in the audiovisual and gaming carrels. Contact the Help Center for more information on these services.
The Library also provides access to over 100,000 streaming videos, including feature films, performances, and documentaries. Streaming videos can be found by searching DELCAT (you may limit your search by clicking on the ‘Streaming Videos’ filter). Additionally, you may browse streaming media databases to which the Library subscribes via the Media Research guide.
If you are an instructor seeking more information about incorporating streaming media into a course, or if you have any questions about materials in the Film & Video Collection, please reach out to the Film & Video Collection librarian via the Ask Film&Video service.
