We have an outstanding selection of videos, in DVD and videocassette formats, including many foreign-language titles and documentaries. Most feature films can be checked out of the Library. Some materials are non-circulating or are placed on reserve and must be viewed in the Library. Ask at the Information Desk in the Atrium for access to DVDs. They can also help you access viewing facilities and playback equipment.
