Film & Media Studies Resources: Finding Books

Just a few to try.  Search for "film" and "encyclopedias" or "film" in main reference for more options.

These are some of our top-circulating recent purchases.

You can find books in Summon by typing in a known title, author, or topic, then using the limiters next to your search results to narrow your results to just books.

The BGSU Library Catalog can also be used to find books. This is sometimes a better way to search for books by topic, because

• Summon searches for books AND articles at the same time (though you can limit a Summon search to books)
• the catalog takes advantage of subject headings (see the box on this below)
• the catalog searches the tables of contents of most of our books. These are not necessarily listed in Summon.

Try the above search to find scripts in the Pop Culture Library.

All scripts in the Browne Popular Culture Library cannot be checked out, but...they are always here when you need them!

Use OhioLINK to search for books at other Ohio libraries, or find books in libraries all over the world with WorldCat.
