Library Resources for Film Students Part 1: The Books in Your Library

Film Books
Plymouth College of Art Library has an impressive collection of subject related Film books (approximately 2000 titles). The majority of Film books are shelved in the 791.43 section of the Library, although you may find related subject material in other areas of the Library.

The books have recently been re-catalogued with the majority of books now having brief summaries and in some cases content details, which allows for fuller Keyword searching. Please ask at the Library Counter if you need assistance with searching the Library Catalogue.

To assist you with browsing the Film Section Shelves, the following is a brief alphabetical subject guide to the collection, along with the corresponding Class Mark. If you need help in locating either a particular book or film related subject please ask at the Library Counter.
