Library Catalogue | Reference Databases | Web Sites | Local Resources

 

To see if the Library owns a particular movie, do a "Title" search. To get better results, limit your search (at the bottom of the search screen) by material to "DVDs & Videos".

For an overview of the movies the Library owns, choose the "Search by Number" option (at the top of the search screen). Select "Call number" as the search type and type in DVD and any letter of the alphabet; for example, searching for "DVD G" will display DVDs for movies beginning with the letter "G".

We suggest that you look at these books to verify the movie title you are looking for and to locate plot summaries, credits, and starred ratings. Videohound's Golden Movie Retriever also has a subject category.
