Finding Videos  

All films we own are searchable via Title in the Centra catalog. If you wish to search by filmmaker, elect to try an Author search (limiting your results to DVD/Video after the fact).

If you want to search for film holdings on certain topics (most of the collection—both physical and streaming formats—are educational or technical films rather than features), do a Keyword Search. For films, however, it is important to change the Material Type from ANY to DVD/VIDEO. If you wish to do a Keyword Search for streaming films, change the Location from ANY to General Collection and change Material Type from ANY to DVD/VIDEO.

Here are several examples of our film holdings. Both DVDs and streaming films are represented below. The DVDs are available for checkout from Media Services (Park 101), and streaming films are available to CMU students, staff, and faculty anytime, anywhere. (If off-campus, CMU users will be prompted to type in their CMU Global IDs and passwords to access the streaming titles.)
