If you are seeking information about the Library's Film & Video Collection, such as how to access the physical collection or for information about media scheduling, please visit the Film & Video Collection webpage. The Media Research Guide is a guide to media content available online, and does not include information about video and gaming content available in physical format to Library patrons on Blu-ray, DVD, VHS, film, game disc or cartridge, etc. You may search for both Library-licensed eVideos and physical media content via DELCAT Discovery. The subject pages linked via the blue tabs to the left are freely available via the Internet, and do not require University of Delaware affiliation for access.

Please note:
Alexander Street Press (ASP) databases allow users to create playlists of videos within the database, or clips from videos, which can be shared with others. Users can create playlists containing various types of documents, images, whole videos, tracks, segments (clips) and/or other items such as links to any URL. Playlists can be annotated, edited, copied, shared, and all playlists contain their own unique static URL which can be incorporated into course management systems. Playlists can be used as lists of personal favorites, class viewing/listening assignments, or as a teaching resource for in-class use.
