Does the library have DVDs?

You bet.  You can find what we have by searching the library catalog.  You can access the catalog a number of different ways, but one way to start you search is to click on the word “Find” in the middle of our page.  Next, click on the link that says, “Videos, Music & Images”.  You should see a list of helpful FAQs for finding films, and link to DePaul’s Library Catalog.


To find a specific film (e.g., Casablanca)
•    Type the title of the movie in the search box, and select 'Title' from the Search by menu.
•    Use the Quick Limits drop-down just below the search box to select "Films/videos/DVDs".

To find films on a topic (e.g., Japan)
•    Type your keyword(s) in the search box.
•    Use the Quick Limits drop-down just below the search box to select "Films/videos/DVDs".

DVDs and videocassettes are shelved on the first floor of the Lincoln Park campus library in the Media Viewing & Listening Room; swipe your DePaul ID to enter. At the Loop campus, you'll find video materials in the AudioVisual Room, DPC 10011. DePaul students, faculty and staff can check out up to two videos for a seven-day period.

If DePaul's copy is checked out, or we don't have the movie you are looking for, feel free to contact us by phone, email, or IM via our Ask A Librarian service, or just stop by the reference desk at any campus; we'll be glad to help you locate what you need.
