Journalism

JOURNALISM materials can appear in various places in the library depending on a few different factors. Some current works may be in the LEISURE as well as the CAREER and VIDEO collections. The primary place for the study and history of JOURNALISM is in the GENERAL collection. Most titles center in the Library of Congress Classification range: "PN 4699-5650".

However, photojournalism is found in the photography section (TR 820). You'll get other journalism resources in sports, education, law, business, and even the section on libraries and books.
