Can Videos be Requested Through ILL?
It is possible but difficult to get videos through ILL. Many libraries will not loan them at all. Most UC libraries will loan them only with restrictions. Videos are often loaned for a maximum one week, with no possibility of renewal and may be used only in the library or in the classroom. Because many libraries resist lending them, videos can take much longer than other materials to acquire. Because of these restrictions it is almost always a better idea to rent videos from Blockbuster, Netflix, or a local store when they are available. Our librarians have developed a page detailing video resources here at UCDavis.
