Film: Find Books

The library catalog is where you can search for books, videos, DVD's, etc.

You may search the library catalog for items housed in Joyner Library in the box above.  To do the following searches and for more options, you may want to visit the ECU Libraries' Library Catalog. You may search by word or phrase, author, title, or subject.

Conduct a subject search in the library catalog for those subject headings which are appropriate for your class by selecting the "begins with..." search type and choosing "subject" from the drop menu.  For example:

• motion pictures
• foreign films--France

Also, try words or phrase search such as:

• film criticism

Most books on film can be found in the PN section, around PN1995. Here are some books that may be helpful:
