DVDs & Videos at the Libraries
Watching DVDs and videos is a fun way to spend an evening. But besides DVDs like Moulin Rouge, Independence Day, or The Lord of the Rings, the Libraries also have a large collection of video items that you might use for research on many different subjects, or to use as part of your class presentation.
All Honnold/Mudd and Denison videos are in Blais, the library catalog. If you want something fun to watch, try searching a title or an actor. If you want to see if there is a film on your topic, use keyword searching and add a limit to Type of Materials: Videos. Here are some examples.
Simple keywords: Women Afghanistan, limit to videos = Behind the veil, Afghan women under fundamentalism.
Simple keywords: Teenage Advertising, limit to videos = Merchants of cool.
Simple keywords: Social class, limit to videos = People like us: social class in America, or Class dismissed: how TV frames the working class.
Simple keywords: China, children, limit to videos = Joy Luck Club or China's lost girls.
Simple keywords: Racism, limit to videos = Skin deep; The Color of Fear; Crash; The Rise and fall of Jim Crow; Monster's Ball, and more.
Don't miss adding a visual element to your presentation. Take your call number to the Services Desk and check the film out for three days. There is a video viewing room in Honnold/Mudd if you need a place to watch. And Honnold/Mudd has video notebooks near the Services Desk if you just want to browse titles.
