University Libraries' DVD section is on the second floor of the "library" side of the building, near the top of the staircase. Just ask for help at the main desk if you would like someone to show you where it is.
Don't have a DVD player? Ask at the library's help desk--the library has DVD players you can use in the library, or portable DVD drives you can borrow to use with your own computer.
