Instructions for the Media Center Video Catalog Search engine

You can retrieve a full list of the videos in our catalog, sorted by Title (alphabetically) or by AV#. Or you may search for a particular video by its Title, AV#, Description, or Department. Results from your search should contain a Title, AV#, Run Length (if available), and Description (if available).

If you wish to see a full list of videos we have available, please be aware that there are more that 600 videos in our catalog, so any such list may require a lengthy download time.

If you are having difficulty finding a Title or Description, try shortening the word(s) or check your spelling. Often using a shorter variation of the word is best. We spell-check the entire catalog before publishing it on the web, however, sometimes spelling errors will occur and a shorter word may avoid any mistake.

EXAMPLE 1:

 Title to be found  Keyword used  Result
 Death of the Hired Man  Death of a Hired Man  Title not found
 Death of the Hired Man  Death Hired  Tape found
 Death of the Hired Man  Man  10 tapes found

The above example is valid for Title and Description Keyword searches.

However, for AV# searches, a complete three digit number is best. If you do not have the complete number, a search with the part of the number you have will return your tape - along with many more tape Titles.

EXAMPLE 2:

 AV# to be found  Number used  Result
 001  001  Correct tape found
 001  1  68 tapes found
 001  01  10 tapes found

When using the Department search, be aware that these categories reflect the Media Center's best effort to decide whether a tape's subject may be of interest in a particular department/division.
