Searching for scripts and plays within the library's catalog involves using special search terms. You can search in two ways: genre search and publication search.

Genre Search: 

In the library's online catalog search box, type "ge: drama." This will search the catalog for the "drama" genre. Be aware that some results might not be specifically scripts. They could be books about playwrights of drama, or the world and history of drama in the theater and film.

Publication Search:

In the library's online catalog search box, type "pb:" followed by the publisher name of scripts in quotation marks. Many scripts and plays are published by Dramatists Play Service, Inc. and Samuel French, Inc. Searching "pb: "dramatists play service"" or "pb: "Samuel French"" should pull a relatively complete list of scripts and plays by these publishers.
