For example, if you wanted to search for a film created by Jean-Luc Godard, you could search for "Jean-Luc Godarad," then in the results screen under "format" click on "Videos and DVDs." This will give you all the films we have that Jean-Luc Godard has made. If you wanted to get a book about Jean-Luc Godard you could do the same search, but click on "Book" under format.
