DVD and Videotape Reservations

Introduction

The library owns a growing collection of excellent DVDs and videotapes that faculty use to support programs in various disciplines. You'll find all DVDs and videotapes are listed in the Eden-Webster Library System catalog. You may also search the catalog for just videos and DVDs by using our Video Search Express service. An instructional video, Videos for Instruction, provides additional information on this topic.

Information for St. Louis Area Campuses

We encourage current faculty at Webster University’s St. Louis area campus or Eden Theological Seminary to reserve videotapes and DVDs they wish to show in their classes by contacting Rick Kaeser, our Document Delivery/AV Assistant, by phone (314) 968-5994 or e-mail: av@webster.edu, or filling out the online DVD and Videotape Reservations Form. We recommend that St. Louis faculty call if you wish to use the item within 3 days or less and please contact us prior to the show date.

DVDs and videotapes circulate for 3 days. Renewals are dependent on the demand for the materials.

Please return each item promptly because other Webster faculty may be waiting to use it next.

Any St. Louis area faculty member who wants to use a videotape or DVD that is not owned by the Eden-Webster Library System, should please contact the Head of Reference Services and Collection Development at 314-968-6951 or eliceiri@webster.edu.
