Questions?
For questions related to streaming video, please contact library@cvtc.edu.
Finding Streaming Videos in Library Search
Use Library Search to find streaming videos (or DVDs/Blu-Rays). You can search by title, director, actor, subject, etc.
- Type your search term, for example "Tom Holland," into the search box
- Click the Source type dropdown
- Check the box next to Videos

If you have a video recommendation for the library, you can submit a suggestion for purchase. Note that we cannot add any titles that are exclusively on Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu, Apple TV+, etc. Our priority is to purchase streaming content and while we can purchase DVDs and other physical media, we are unable to digitize our physical media.
