Research Process: 2b. Find Videos

No matter what stage of the research process you're at--only beginning, stuck in the middle, or finishing up with citation polishing--this guide is a great resource for you.

Find Videos

Step 2b: Video searching may take place in the library's catalog, in some databases, and on the Internet.

Ask yourself why you need a video, and that may help you decide what type of video you need.

  • Is it something you need to share with a class? If so, consider using a video from the library's collection.
  • Or, do you need to inform yourself about your topic? You have other options besides the library's collection, and video services on the Internet may be a place to turn.

Remember, when searching for videos, you have two options:

1. Use the left-hand column and put a check mark into the video category

2. Begin with the "advanced search." Scroll down to "format" and choose "video" or "DVD."
