Ellis Library offers a wide range of film resources to support both classroom instruction and personal viewing. Although our campus library has limited streaming services, students and faculty still have access to some excellent alternatives. MU students and faculty can search Discover@MU on the University of Missouri Libraries website to find video materials in multiple formats, including DVD and film, making it easy to locate content for class, research, or just for fun.
If you prefer browsing in person, DVDs are available on the south side of the Reference stacks near the Information Commons on the first floor of Ellis Library.
You can also search the library catalog to locate specific titles or explore a curated list of films available at Ellis. Don’t have a DVD player? No worries – they are available for checkout at the North Service Desk on the first floor of Ellis!
For free streaming options, students can obtain a library card from the Daniel Boone Regional Library. This is a simple process that can be completed online at dbrl.org. Once on the site, select “Browse and Borrow,” to pull up a drop-down window, where you will then select “Get a card,” and apply online. Daniel Boone regional library has access to both Kanopy and Hoopla, free streaming service for popular movies and shows.
Happy watching, Tigers!
