Feature Films

Subject headings

In the bibliographic record the genre heading "Feature films" is used with foreign feature films being given the additional headings "Feature films-[country]" and "Foreign films-[country]". Items for the hearing impaired are given the genre headings "Video recordings for the hearing impaired" and "Films for the hearing impaired" as they are for all DVDs or videos. If a DVD or video is based on a book, the first subject heading should be author's name followed by the genre subheading "Film and video adaptations". For Shakespeare plays adapted to film, the first subject heading would be "Shakespeare, William, [dates].[Title of play]-Film and video adaptations.

Call numbers

All feature films, including TV series, are given the call number PN 1997 with a Cutter for title. If a foreign feature film, the Cutter is for the English language title. The only exception is with Shakespeare plays turned feature film. These are given the correct PR call number, followed by A23 for filmed version and a Cutter for the director.
