Finding Videos and DVDs in Education and Counseling


If you know the title of the video:

Choose Alphabetical Search in the JHU Libraries Catalog.

Enter the video title (use the drop-down menu and choose "Video Titles").  Remember to omit the initial article (a, an, the, etc.) in your search (e.g., Class Divided).

If you don't have a particular video in mind and want to find videos by keyword:

Choose Advanced Keyword in the JHU Libraries Catalog.

  • Enter one or more keywords (e.g., teaching, education, counseling, etc.).  TIP:  A "subject keyword" search may be more effective than a "general keyword" search.
  • Under "Material Type" choose "Videos, DVDs, films, slides, etc."
  • Select a language if desired.
  • Sort results if desired (e.g., title, publication date, etc.).
To "browse" the titles in our collection (videos are shelved by accession number in a closed stack area):

Choose Alphabetical Search.

  • Select "Call Numbers--Other" from the drop-down menu.
  • Enter "DVD" (for DVDs) or "Video A" (for VHS).
  • The result will be a list arranged by accession number.
Other tips:
  • Capitalization is not required in the catalog.
  • DVD is the preferred format, but VHS and other formats are acquired.
  • JHU students and faculty may check out videos/DVDs for 3 days with 1 renewal.  Non-JHU patrons may watch videos in the Audiovisual Center on A-Level.
Other sources of education-related videos:
  • Learner.org
    Streaming video on demand from Annenberg Media
  • MIT World
    A free and open site providing on-demand video of significant public events at MIT. Includes a searchable video archive.
