Good Work!

You should now be able to find visual materials in the library catalog and on the web.

Now you should be able to:

search the library catalog for videos and DVDs
search web to identify and retrieve visual items

Be sure to reference any images or clips you use in your projects or presentations!

You can continue to the next module Advanced Searching.
