You'll find the TCU Library's DVD/Blu-Ray/VHS collection in the Music/Media Library, on the top floor of the library building (3), above the University Drive entrance. The approximately 11,000 videos primarily support the academic disciplines, but there's a sizeable sub-collection of popular film and television titles. Videos and sound recordings are held in closed stacks; when you give call numbers to M/ML staff, your items will be retrieved for you. |

| At library.tcu.edu, using the library catalog you can choose "Video (any format)" or "Video (DVD format)" ; if you use FrogScholar to search, select Content Type "Video Recording" (note: with FS you'll find both disc recordings and online streaming video). The Music/Media staff is happy to help you find the items you need, and (for faculty) reserve DVD/VHS videos for classes. Please note that some DVD video holdings are European format and require special playback equipment. Blu-Ray players may work in such instances. The Audio/Visual Center within the Music/Media Library has such equipment. | ||
This handy printable flyer, also available from the Music/Media Library web page, demonstrates how to generate lists of DVD/Blu-Ray or VHS videos using call number and keyword catalog searches, decipher catalog record information, and request a video.
Simply click on "LibAnswers" on the library's home page and type "how do I find foreign language..."
You'll find FAQs for finding both foreign language films and television shows on video. Click on the resulting FAQs for instructions. There is also a list of non-English-language films, in addition.
At library.tcu.edu are a number of online internet links to lists of videos (mostly DVD or Blu-Ray) according to type, release date and several popular film genres. The links can be found by clicking on the LibAnswers panel and typing in a query with "popular films?," or by this route:
LibAnswers panel - click "browse all the library FAQs," then expand "Topics" and select Popular films; click the FAQ title ("How can I...")
