Film/Video Collection Media collection materials needed for course work are available at the circulation desk and may be checked out by students for use in the library. We appreciate your understanding that the College video collection is principally for use in its instructional programs and may not be used for entertainment purposes. Media materials that are not on reserve may be checked out by faculty members for classroom preparation or research. A "browsing collection" of DVDs is available for check-out by Middlebury students, staff, and faculty for non-public viewing in the privacy of rooms or homes; public viewing of materials from this collection is not permitted under the law unless special licensing is obtained in advance.Searching the online catalog of film and video from MIDCAT will be most efficient if you use the tab to limit your search to VIDEOS. Using the advanced search option allows you to search by keyword, author (the director, producer, or prominent cast member), title or by subject or genre (film noir, documentary films). If equipment does not work properly or if you encounter defective tapes, you should report the problem immediately to the staff at the circulation desk. For information, call extension 2268.
