VIDEOS IN THE LIBRARYMost folks know they can go to their local public library and borrow videos for home viewing. But did you know the University Library also has videos? As would be expected many of the videos in the Library deal with business practices or are tutorials, including some great ones for mathematics. Among the tutorial videos we even have some by John Cleese, such as Meetings, Bloody Meetings, and by Lily Tomlin such as her Customer Service Training series. Then there are great film  titles that were purchased for classes on the workplace in cinema. These range from that classic work on American capitalism, The Godfather, to the 2003 Oscar winning feature on a young girl's entry into the workplace Spirited Away. Also available are documentaries such as The Smartest Guys in the Room and Bowling for Columbine.
 So if you are looking for something to show a class or for some home viewing with family and friends remember the University Library.How do you find what titles we have in the Library?Simple. For a list of DVD discs do a subject
search for Digital Video Discs (University  Library), for a list of VHS tapes do a subject search for Videocassettes (University Library) and then bookmark the search results for easy access in the future.All circulating videos go out for two days so be sure to bring them back on time. Also, a few select titles cannot leave the campus due to contract agreements with the producers.---Gilles Poitras
