Finding DVDs in OneSearch
OneSearch is the Ball State Libraries' search tool for materials in the library and beyond.
Start with a basic search using keywords, for example Bellini's opera, Norma:
From preliminary results, click on "More..." Under CONTENT TYPE, click on Video Recording. Next, scroll up to click "Apply"
The call numbers for DVDs begin with "DVD Video." Take the number to the Education, Music and Media counter on the Lower Level. Note: the main "author" of a DVD is the director, not the composer or performer.
