Videos & DVDs--Our Whole Collection

You may notice that infoLINK, the BU Libraries' catalog, has a new look. We recently updated the library catalog software. One of the new features is the Video/DVD List button at the top of the page. We added this new feature for patrons who wish to see our entire video/DVD holdings. It was possible to do this in the prior version of infoLINK, but required many steps.
