The Interlibrary Loan (ILL) service enables UC students, faculty, and staff to borrow materials from other libraries that are not available at the UCI Library. You can make requests in UC Library Search or in UCI WorldCat by clicking "Get it at UC".
Many books on film and media studies are edited volumes of essays by different authors or contain information on a number of films or shows. Depending on how they were cataloged, the records that represent information about scholarly books do not always reveal this content. Searching these tools can be a great way to search for information in books as they search each word on every page of the scanned items.
Use UC Library Search to find books available in electronic and print format. Browsing the shelves can also be a fun way to discover items that you didn't know you needed! A library classification is a system of knowledge organization by which library resources are arranged and ordered systematically. At UCI Libraries, and many North American academic libraries, books are arranged according to the Library of Congress Classification system. You'll find most books in the PN call number which includes motion pictures, television, and radio. However, the TR call range also includes cinematography (special effects, projection, etc.).
