Film Studies

DELCAT will help you find videos at the UD Library (including feature films, documentaries, and educational videos).  For information about how you can check items out of the Library, visit the How to Access page.  If the item is an eVideo, you may click the link under 'View Online'.  If you are accessing an eVideo from off-campus, you will be asked to log in with your UD net I.D. and password.  Please note:  if DELCAT Discovery indicates an item is shelved in the Library Annex, you can place an online request and the item will be retrieved for you within one business day.

Use Advanced Search to limit your search by format, or limit after your search using the facets on the left-hand side of the results screen.  Use a title, genre or topic keyword, director or actor name, or simply 'feature films'.

Tips:

  Use the Film and Video Collection's Film Finders guide and New Films guide for additional viewing ideas.

  Items listed in the catalog as 'Media Loan' circulate to undergraduate students for a 7-day loan period (no renewals).  Items listed as 'Restricted Loan' must be viewed in the Library by undergraduate students, and can only circulate to graduate students and faculty.

  Although videos are not publicly accessible for browsing, all titles are indexed in DELCAT.

  You may check on whether or not the item is on shelf and available for check-out before visiting the Library by viewing the 'Access' information in DELCAT.  If the video is currently checked out, you will see the date it is due.

  If you encounter a record for an item in DELCAT that is 'In Process', this means that the video has been purchased by the Library but has not yet been cataloged.  Submit an In-Process Request and you will be notified when it has been cataloged and is available for circulation.

Browse FILM FINDERS, the Library guide to view for titles in the Film and Video Collection which have been selected by film organizations and critics for recognition and awards.
