All options in the lists of Subjects, Popular Categories, and Featured Producers are clickable links; this example will show the Music & Dance category:
The category pages have handy tools:
If you know the name of the video you're looking for, you can enter it in the search box at the top of any page, or click Advanced Search for more search options:
This example uses the search "mindful earth." Note that the terms are in quotation marks ( " ) which tells the search system to look for these words in exactly this order; without the quotation marks, the system looks for records that include the words "mindful" and "earth" but not necessarily in that order:
The search results screen has the same handy tools as the browse screen (e.g., filters, options for sorting, and the page link button), but it also allows you to save your search by clicking the folder button:
Note: This Save Search functionality requires you to create a free Films on Demand account; see the Your Profile tab in this box for more information!
