Searching for Books

The BGSU Library Search system is the best starting point to find books.

Use the filters named "Resource Type" to filter for books

  • Located along the left-hand side of the search results page

You can also use filters to look for books in a specific collection, say, in the Pop Culture library, instead of the library's general collection.

Film reference books

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