Finding DVDs and Streaming Videos in the Catalog

The TCC Libraries have a large collection of videos available to faculty and students. Some of the videos can be checked out, some are available for in-house viewing only, and some can be accessed online. It is easy to tell which are which by how they are noted in the library catalog.

 

 

 

When searching the catalog, look to the left of any title in the results. A small icon of a computer monitor with a right-facing triangle indicates that title is a Streaming Video. Streaming videos are available to view online. Click the green Online access link to proceed to the electronic collection with this video.

If the video is located in the Video/DVD Collection of any TCC campus library, then the video (usually a DVD) can be checked out for a period of time (usually one week).
