how to search for new DVDs

Do you envy those folks who seem to always just know about new DVDs before everyone else?  They're not mind-readers, they've not bribed our orderers or tech services staff, they've just mastered searching our online catalog...and you can too!

Step 1:  Go to www.rowanpubliclibrary.org and click on Find Books

Step 2: Click on DVDs at the top of the screen

Step 3:  Click on the New Items tab

Step 4: Choose This Month from the Received Since menu for the newest DVDs, then click Search

Voila!  A list of the latest and greatest should appear.  If you select All from the Received Since menu, you will find a list of all the DVDs we own, which can then be limited by branch.
