Reserve a Film

The Hilda C. Landers Library maintains a collection of DVDs and Blu-rays available for borrowing, in-class viewing, and public screenings. Use the resources below to browse what’s available, understand Public Performance Rights, and reserve a film for your class or event.

Browse Our DVD & Blu-ray Collection

The Hilda C. Landers Library has published a searchable Google Spreadsheet listing all of our DVDs and Blu-rays, updated as of April 2026. Whether you’re browsing for your next film or searching for titles the Library holds Public Performance Rights (PPR) for, this spreadsheet makes it easy to explore what’s available.

You can use the spreadsheet to:

  • Browse the full list of DVDs and Blu-rays in our collection
  • Filter or search for specific titles or formats
  • Identify titles where the College holds Public Performance Rights

What Are Public Performance Rights?

Public Performance Rights (PPR) allow a film to be shown to an audience beyond personal, private viewing—such as a campus event or community
screening—without requiring a separate license. Faculty and event organizers can use the spreadsheet above to identify which titles in our collection are already cleared for public showings.

Streaming Video Databases
