DVDs & Streaming Films

The library has an extensive legacy collection of DVDs, including popular films, tv shows, and documentaries. DVD playing devices are available for loan. Ask at the library's Circulation Desk or contact circ@dickinson.edu for more information.

To check out a DVD:

  • find the call number in the library catalog/Jumpstart
  • locate the DVD cases on the shelf on the main floor of the library
  • take the DVD case to the library Circulation Desk to check out the disc. 

The call numbers on DVDs do not indicate the subject (unlike book call numbers).  You can browse DVD the collection online using the genre-specific links below. The library no longer actively purchases DVDs for popular viewing, but does acquire a small number each year on request for curricular use. 

The library also provides multiple streaming film collections to current students, faculty and staff; Dickinson login is required.
