Library Catalog

Locating Videos & DVDs
Videos and DVDs are shelved according to Library of Congress call number, and are kept in the Recreational Materials area of the library.
To locate the call number of a film do the following:
Know the title of the work?
Try a TITLE search.
Example: Cape Fear [title]
Know the subject area?
Try a SUBJECT search, and then LIMIT/SORT by the material type [videorecording].
Example: Korean War [the subject]
You can also limit the search by video.
Know the performer or director?
Try an AUTHOR search.
Example: Scorsese, Martin [author/artist]
Want a listing of all of our DVDs?
Try a SUBJECT search using DVD.

Interlibrary Loan (ILL)
If Randall Library does not own a book you need, or does not subscribe to the journal or magazine that your citation leads you to, try using Interlibrary Loan (ILL). It's a free service to UNCW students, faculty, and staff, and exponentially increases the number of materials you have access to. Start your research early, to allow enough times for materials from other libraries to be mailed to Randall Library.
