Searching the Catalog for Streaming and Physical Copies of Videos

How to search the Catalog for videos

Videos are searchable in the library catalog and in individual streaming video database collections. Most streaming video content from our database collections is uploaded into the library catalog and searchable there.

Please note that there may be lag-time in uploading library catalog records for recent updates to streaming video database collections. Searching in both the library catalog and in relevant streaming video databases is the best way to ensure a comprehensive search.
