Books with the subject headings for film are generally located in the Library of Congress call number area of PN. However, this area covers much more than film (literary history and collections, theater, oratory, journalism). and it is more productive to search our catalog by the subject term Motion Pictures. The term Motion Pictures can also be combined with other subject or keywords to get specific areas of film. These are some examples:
Motion Pictures and History
Motion Pictures and Literature
Motion Pictures and Music
Motion Pictures and the Arts
Combine the term Motion Pictures with specific events, areas, or people such as:
World War, 1939-1945 -- Motion pictures and the war
Motion pictures and television
Motion Pictures and Nixon
