The UCLA Library collects commercially published scripts, most of which are final shooting scripts. Many of these are housed in the as part of the collection and can be checked out. Some scripts and screenplays will also be available at other UCLA libraries or, particularly foreign language scripts. Due to historical inconsistencies in cataloging practice, not every script will have a uniform subject heading or any heading at all.
Below are some hints on using the to find titles: • If you are looking for a specific title and get too many hits, also search by the name of the screenwriter or author (NOT the director). This often helps narrow down hits quickly. • To browse screenplays, try a more general 'Subject List' search for the term. • However, keep in mind that many published scripts (especially for television) have no subject heading at all, and will only have the words 'script,' 'scripts,' 'film script,' 'shooting script,' or 'screenplay' in the title or keywords.
You can alternatively do a subject seach for the name of a film or program, and this will sometimes produce a title that includes the script.
