Did you know that URI provides researchers with access to hundreds of films?

The library has a collection of physical media available for check out. This collection is located on the first floor and includes DVDs and Blu-Ray. To learn more about how to access these and other resources (including streaming) check out our Media Collection libguide. External DVD players are available for check out at the Circulation desk.

Search Tip: Some full films are available through the URI Library catalog. To check this, open Advanced Search below the main library search bar on the homepage. Enter the title of the film you are looking for and select "Audio Visual" from the drop-down Format menu (located to the right of the search bar).
