Q. How do I find media / audiovisual materials (DVDs, CDs, VHS, LPs, cassettes)?

There are three ways to find media / audiovisual items (DVDs, CDs, VHS, LPs, cassettes) in the Library Catalog. Students may check CDs out for 7 days; other audiovisual materials may be used in the library only. Faculty may check CDs out for 7 days and check other items out for two days.

1. Limit your search in OneSearch  to "Audio Visual."
Using the advanced search screen in OneSearch, select the "Audio Visual" option from the drop-down menu under the "Material Type" section located to the right of the first search line. After running the search, you may limit further by using available options under the "Resource Type" section on the left-hand side of the results list.

2. Search your media item in OneSearch and then limit by resource type. 
In OneSearch, type your media title, then after the results appear, narrow down using the "Resource Type" section on the left-hand side of the results list.

3. Use OneSearch to do a keyword and format search
Examples:
wizard of oz and vhs
shakespeare and dvd
japan and videorecording (all video formats: dvd and vhs)
mozart and soundrecording (all audio formats: CDs, cassettes and vinyl LPs)
