Using CENTRA to Find CMU Media Services Videos

Go to the CENTRA catalog (http://centra.cmich.edu/).
Searching by Keyword(s) is the default, so type in keyword(s) related to your topic. (If you know the exact title of the film you hope to find, do a Title search instead of a Keyword search.)
Click "Search" button. A results list for your keywords(s) appears.
On the right side of the results page, look for a DVD/Video link under "Material Type." Click that link to limit your search results to only DVDs and videos.
Another option is to click the Media Services link under "Location" (also on the right side of the search results screen). Please note: Media Services is only one of two locations where DVDs and videos are held in the Park Library.

If you have any questions regarding videos or CENTRA, contact Media Services at 774-3891 or the Library Reference Desk at 774-3470.
