Need a Video or DVD for Class?

Step 1

Check the Library Catalog (IUCAT) at: https://iucat.iu.edu/

If IU South Bend library owns a physical copy, check it out from the library for the class. You may call in advance to "reserve" the date you need. To do this, contact Kathy Plodowski (520-4380 or kplodows@iusb.edu). If you do this, please note that the video or DVD will be allowed to circulate up until 1 week before you have "reserved" the item.
If IU South Bend library owns it electronically, use the permalink to embed in Canvas
If IU South Bend library does not own the item - go to Step 2.

Step 2

Check IUCAT by searching ALL libraries. If the item is held in the ALF (auxiliary library facility) then use the Request This link on the screen to request item. If Bloomington owns in their Media Services collection, then fill out the request form at:

http://libraries.iub.edu/schedule-classroom-media

DVDs/ Videos need to be requested at least 7-10 days prior to date of showing.

When mailing DVDs/videos back, make sure that the return address tag, which comes with each video, is placed on the box for return to Bloomington. The box needs to be sealed with a good tape to prevent it from opening during shipment.

Drop into your campus mailbox and they will be retrieved and returned by mailroom staff.

Step 3

If the video cannot be ordered through IUCAT or is not found in IUCAT, place an interlibrary loan request about 2 weeks in advance. You may place your requests online at:

https://iusb.illiad.oclc.org/illiad/logon.html

Interlibrary Loan will search all available lending libraries for the item, but we cannot guarantee when or if it will arrive. Many libraries do not lend DVDs, so we have a limited source. We are always happy to work within your time frame. Please note, DVDs general have a short loan length.

If you plan to use this item regularly for a class and would like the library to purchase it, please contact Susan Thomas at 520-5555.

If you have questions about Interlibrary Loan or using Request This, please contact Maureen Kennedy at 520-4433,

If you have a disability and need assistance, special arrangements can be made to accommodate most needs. Please contact Kathy Plodowski at 520-4380 for assistance.
