Browse in person:

Print TV scripts are found in the PN1992.77 call number area of the Iwasaki Library.

A call number is like a "shelf address" in the library. If you haven't used call numbers before, you can ask the folks at the library front desk to direct you to the PN1992.77 area!

Browse a list of all TV scripts in the library's print collection:

In the library catalog, do a subject search for television scripts. Here's how:

• In the library catalog search field, type the words "television scripts."
• From the drop-down menu that says "Keyword," select "Subject."
• Select "Find."
• You'll see several library subject headings related to television scripts; the first one ("Television Scripts") tells you how many titles in our catalog are TV scripts.
• Select the subject heading ("Television Scripts") to see a list of all 400+ titles listed in alphabetical order by episode title.
• You can sort by author, title, or date.

Please note that episode title, rather than series title, will appear in the results list.

For example, you may see the name of the episode - Hitch Hiker - as the title, rather than Twilight Zone. When you select the individual record, it will show the name of the series.

To search in our print collection of TV scripts:

In the library catalog, do a keyword search by episode title or show/series title. Put titles in quotation marks ("Killing Eve" "How I Met Your Mother").

Please note that episode title, rather than series title, will appear in the results list.

For example, if you search for twilight zone script, the results list will show the name of the episode - Hitch Hiker - as the title, rather than Twilight Zone. When you select the individual record, it will show the name of the series.
