Checking Out Films From the Library

To check out a film or videorecording, you will need to first retrieve the box or container for the film. In Regenstein, the video collection is housed in the 4th Floor of Regenstein Library. Just bring the box or container to the Circulation Desk at the Library. Staff will retrieve the actual VHS tape or DVD and check it out to you. At other libraries, visit the Circulation Desk and request the film.

Anyone qualified to borrow materials from the University of Chicago Library may borrow videos. The check-out period for most videos are the same as for books, unless the video is on reserve for a course.  These will be available for only a short period of time (usually 4 hours or 24 hours).  Videos located at D'Angelo Law Library circulated for only a 14 loan period and are non-renewable.  Once you check out the materials, you can take them outside of the Library. However, if you do not have the correct equipment, a Viewing Room is available on the 3rd Floor Reading Room of the Regenstein Library. Most library computers include a DVD drive.  Headphones are available for check-out from the Recordings Collection window (also on the 3rd Floor Reading Room), or from the Circulation Desk when the recordings collection is closed.
