Search & Stream a Video

Time Allotment: 10 min

Now that you have successfully logged into the Media Catalog/SNAP it is time to find a resource.  

How do I search for resources in the Media Catalog/SNAP?

Instructions

1. The simplest way to search is just type keyword(s) right into the search box. This will search all the fields of every catalog record. Try typing a keyword search for giraffe. You should get 101 results.

2. Now you can narrow your search using the filters on the right side of the search results. It shows how many resources for each filter. For example, there are 61 streaming videos that match giraffe. Click on streaming video(61).

3. Now your results only show the 61 streaming videos. Choose one and click on View vendor_name to play one. The vendor_name will be different depending on what resource you choose. See image below.

4. Next you are going to remove the filter. At the top of the Narrow Search box click on the Red circle with the minus sign button next to Resource Type ("streaming video"). See image below...

4. The search results will automatically reload and you should have all 101 results showing again. Choose a different filter or filters (it's possible to add as many filters as you would like).

5. Clear all filters.
