Books into Film
This is a list of some of the resources in Paul Robeson Library on film adaptations. For more information please ask a reference librarian.
The general subject heading to use in IRIS, the Rutgers University Libraries
catalog, is "film adaptations." To look for film adaptations of a specific
author, type in the author's name and film, click on "search everything."
Two other catalogs may be useful in locating resources for your paper. Both will include some primary sources. You can request items from these catalogs on interlibrary loan.
- RLIN -- database of catalogs from research libraries
- CRL (Center for Research Libraries)
The best indexes to use in locating scholarly articles on film adaptations
are:
- MLA Bibliography
- Humanities Index
Use the same search terms that you would in IRIS.
