Navigating Video Databases

Each database looks a little bit different. Most of the time your searching option will be at the top of the page. 


Finding Videos in the Library Catalog

The Library Catalog also contains video content. There are few ways to access video content through the catalog. The first is to use advanced search option to select your material type. Change the dropdown menu to "Video" to limit your results to just video content.


If you perform a search, and then want to edit your results to show just video content, you can use the filters at the right side of the screen to limit your results to "videos" only. To access the video, click into the record and open the link under "View Online: Full Text Availability." 


Navigating Catalog Database Links

Some items will lead directly to a video, others may require you to open another link to an external site.
