Finding movies in the Library with Public Performance Rights
The Media Collection purchases some videos that come with Public Performance Rights (PPR). The UW Libraries Catalog does not identify which videos have PPR and which do not. The only way to find them is by knowing which distributors include PPR with their videos.
Below are some of the major distributors that include PPR with their titles. Each distribtors' name links to a list of their videos available in the Media Collection. Other videos with PPR may be available, and Media Collection staff can assistant you in finding these titles. If you would like help or have any questions, please contact us at taclibav@u.washington.edu.
