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 also 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 you can use "FrogScholar" to browse for materials including Video/film. To specifically peruse the DVD/Blu-Ray/VHS video collection, select the Advanced Search tab, then click the "Library catalog" button; finally, be sure to select “Material Type” Video/Film. (For some specific search suggestions, see the DVD... box below.) 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. |

Simply click on "LibAnswers" on the library's home page and type "how do I find foreign language..."

Here also is a list of all non-English-language films on DVD and Blu-ray.
At library.tcu.edu are a number of online web 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 tab and typing in a query with "popular films?," or by this route:
