Note:
The books count was calculated by combining the title count from relevant
PN1992-1997 Motion pictures and TR845-899 Cinematography Library of Congress
Classification areas. The figures are based on the 1997 North American Title
Count, University of Hawaii at Manoa Library and on shelf-inch measurements.
The periodicals count was calculated using a search of the library catalog
for motion pictures periodicals and cinematography periodicals.
