Most books in UCLA libraries are shelved by call number. You can browse broad call number ranges (examples below), but keep in mind that anything checked out, shelved in Reference or Class Reserves, or in other campus libraries, will be located in different places. Using the Library Catalog is recommended for searching specific books and topics.

PN1995.6: Motion Pictures and Censorship
PN1995.7: Pictures and sound / talking pictures

PN1995.9.G3: Gangster films (other film genres/topics also shelved in PN1995.9)
PN1998 - PN1998.3: Biographies and scholarship on individuals (mostly directors)
PN1999: Motion picture studios and corporations

When searching a library catalog, you may do a general keyword search (directors’ names, titles of films, general subjects, etc.), but you may also do a "Subject" search using Library of Congress (LC) terms applied by catalogers. Examples are below:
