Gallaudet University Library


How to ... find a video on the shelf

The Library has videos in VHS and DVD formats. Some videos may be borrowed for three days. Others (Non-Circulating) may only be used in the Library.

3 Day Loan videos are near the Reference area on the Middle Level of the Library. There are four sections:

Each video has a call number. Examples: The videos are shelved by call number.

Deaf VHS's and Deaf DVDs have yellow "D" labels on their cases.

Non-Circulating videos are in another location. To use them, ask for help at the Service Desk.

A few videos are kept at the Service Desk. The ALADIN Catalog says: "Temporarily Shelved at GA: UNIV Reserve: Two Hour"

Here is an example of ALADIN Catalog video information. The Library has two copies of this video. One is Non-Circulating; the other is 3 Day Loan.
