Search "Films by Subject"

Find Grossmont Library's DVDs and VHS tapes by subject.  It's as easy as clicking on a subject from the list found on our Films by Subject page.

Films by Subject Flyers provide you with a sampling of the films available in various subject areas.


Film Booking Service

Faculty can book films in advance by contacting Karen McCoy (phone:
619-644-7491, email:
karen.mccoy@gcccd.edu)  or Melissa Solis (phone: 619-644-7063, email: melissa_solis@gcccd.edu). Instructors can also provide a list of films and what dates the films will be needed. The request can be made at the beginning of each semester, or a few days before the film(s) are needed.


County Consortium Media Collection

Students and faculty have access to a collection of films that we share with other local community colleges.  Search the catalog for films, and then request items by sending an email to Marty Armstrong at marty.armstrong@gcccd.edu. Students can view films in the library. Faculty may check the films out.

A video clip demonstrating how to search the Consortium catalog is available here.
