Videos

A picture is worth a thousand words. It seems like we're returning to a pictographic (picture writing) culture. Streaming video, DVD's, VHS, cable, satellite, regular off air TV (does anyone still just use their off air stations?)- all telling a story, giving information, shaping the knowledge of the viewer. It's easier (and quicker) to watch the movie than to read the book.

NMTC library does have a few videos in the libraey for students to use. Most of the videos in our collection are checked out to the program faculty.

You can find out what we own by checking the card catalog on-line http://libcat.northmetrotech.edu/scripts/websafari.exe
