There are two main collections of videos (on DVD or VHS) in the University Library system that are of interest to Education:

Doucette Library of Teaching Resources on the 3rd floor of the Education Classroom Block:

• Focus on videos suitable for showing in K-12 classrooms, but also a smaller collection of videos about 'how to teach'
• All available for 2 week loan
• Well over 1,600 titles

Visual and Performing Arts on the 3rd floor of the Taylor Library:

• Both 'in class use' and 'one week loan' videos
• Carrels for individual viewing and three bookable rooms for group viewing of videos

Smaller video collections are also found in all the branch libraries.

The search box in the middle column is set-up to search only for videorecordings, wherever they are located in the system.
