NOVA Libraries provide access to videos in both physical and streaming formats. You can search for videos in the library catalog.  Start at the library homepage,www.nvcc.edu/library, and click on the Videos button above the catalog search bar to search specifically for videos.

Search the catalog using keywords or the title of the video if you know it. The search results will show both streaming videos and DVDs held at a campus library.

 

If you know which database contains the video you're looking for, Look under the Steaming Multimedia section on the library website for the link to a list of video databases.  From the list, select the appropriate database and do a search for your video.

 

A few search tips:

  • If you know part or all of the title, enclose the title within quotes to find it. E.g., "Lord of the Rings"
     
  • Take advantage of the advanced search and browse feature available in most databases. You can use these features to locate videos if the simple search isn't working.
