Enjoy the last days of summer with a movie or two, or three...or more. Since the Kelvin Smith Library and the Cleveland Institute of Art Gund Library collaborated a few years ago to purchase a local store that specialized in scholarly media, KSL has continued to add to the collection. Now you'll find entertainment items & great movies, along with the academic, documentary, and other research-oriented titles.
Faculty love to use the collection to teach, using them in class and also for Reserve, and everyone enjoys the great breadth of titles. Take a few minutes to browse your favorite artist or director, using our KSL Video/DVD QuickList to produce a list that helps you make your weekend & summer choices!
QuickList can be found the KSL homepage in the right-side "Highlights" box:
- Find the newest purchases. First select "Date Added" & choose 'last month,' or anything from 2-12 months
- Specify Video, or DVD, depending on your media equipment
- Select KSL or other campus libraries, for specific collections
- In a hurry? Select "Availability" to make sure the results only show what you can get today!
Your search results appear in a table and you can sort the columns to re-order the results. Sort Format to group together all the videos, sort the Title column so you can quickly find one you're looking for. Sort the Call Number column so you can produce a short list that you can then take to the KSL Main Service Desk so the staff can retrieve them for you! (Remember to sort for availability if you need it right away—avoid disappointment that someone else has beaten you to the copy of Lawrence of Arabia.)
All Case individuals can check out media from KSL's collection with their Case or CIA ID and a library account in good standing. Check out the QuickList, and a film, today!
