Dartmouth's films in the library catalog
The most direct way to find films is a keyword search in our library catalog, restricting to the "Videos & DVDs" category.
Most films receive a subject heading indicating genre, e.g., "Documentary films" or "Comedy films" or "Drama". While not necessary, they may help to narrow your search results.
So -- to search the catalog for documentary films on a particular topic, try a keyword search for:
documentary and [your search term], limited to the Videos & DVDs category.
Hint: broaden your search term using the wildcard (double asterisk **) in order to find spelling variants
Example: documentary and senegal**
