The Media Library has two primary types of videos:

• Physical videos: DVDs, as well as older formats such as VCR, videodisc, and 16 mm film
• Online videos:streaming videos that can be viewed online.

When searching for videos, you will find both in the UNT Library Catalog. The libraries subscribe to several streaming film platforms and most of the streaming film titles are included in Discover (library catalog). 

The lists below are selected bibliographies of DVDs from the UNT Libraries. The documents contains link that take you directly to the UNT Library Catalog where you can read more about a video's content.

UNT students, faculty and staff have access to online videos through subscription databases managed by the UNT Libraries. The majority of these online videos can be found by searching the UNT Libraries Catalog.

Can't Find an Online Video?

While the majority of subscription online videos can be found by searching the library catalog, some films are not listed in the catalog. Reasons may include:

• Access is restricted to students enrolled in a specific course
• The film was very recently acquired and has not yet been cataloged. 
• The subscription was canceled
• The film is part of a collection that does not list individual video titles in the library catalog (Swank, JoVE, AccessScience, etc)

If you cannot find a particular film you have been assigned to view, please contact media.library@unt.edu. 

Once you have identified a DVD you want in the UNT Library Catalog, look for the box below the title and book the DVD in advance for your class to watch.
