Film & Media Studies Resources

You can find books in Summon by typing in a title, author, or topic, then using the limiters next to your search results to narrow your results to just books. The video below shows great tips for using Summon.

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
• the catalog searches the tables of contents of most of our books. These are not necessarily listed in Summon.

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