Library Research Guide

Physical Media Collection

DVDs in drawerOur physical media collection, meaning CDs, DVDs, as well as older audio/visual formats, are located on the third floor of Hale Library at the east end. Our DVDs can be shown in the face-to-face classroom through an exception to copyright §110 (1).

Some DVDs have been purchased with public performance rights (PPR). For questions concerning PPR for library video resources, contact Libraries Acquisitions at libjohnhale@ksu.edu.

DVDs are arranged by Library of Congress call numbers exactly like our book collection. Documentaries range across all subjects and thus all call numbers, but feature films are concentrated in the PN1997 call numbers. If you have any questions or difficulty locating materials, Ask a Librarian.
