Unfortunately there is no way to limit your search to "only those items that are on shelf".  You can limit your search to what items are owned by a particular branch, but there is no way to limit that search to items owned by a branch that are also present on shelf (i.e. not checked out).

The easiest way to browse our DVD collection is by using the A/V collection catalog.

Follow these steps:

1) Go to our home page.

2) Go to our online catalog page by pressing the "Go" button to the right of the catalog search field at the top of the page

3) At the next page, select the catalog tab at the top of the screen that's labeled "More Search Options".

4) Next, type in a general search term, and then under "Popular Collections" select DVD/VIDEOThis will allow you to search our entire DVD and VHS collection and only those items - excluding books and all other items.

5) Once you press "search" this will generate a list of that covers our entire collection, or, if you have limited your search to a particular branch, just those items owned by a branch.

You can quickly ascertain whether or not an item is on shelf by checked for either a green check-mark or a red-X to the right of each item.  Green means we have a copy that's on shelf in at least one branch; Red means no available copies.
