A catalog card reading MOVIE see MOTION PICTURES means: All books on movies will be found under the subject heading motion pictures

• A. Movies are not cataloged
• B. See also motion pictures under novels
• C. All books on movies will be found under the subject heading motion pictures
• D. Movie entries are separate

Answer: (C)

In library catalogs, a see reference redirects you to the preferred term used for indexing. MOVIE see MOTION PICTURES means the standard subject heading for materials about films is MOTION PICTURES, so all books on movies will be found under motion pictures, not under a separate MOVIE entry. The other options don’t fit because the card actually points you to the correct, standardized heading and does indicate cataloged material; it doesn’t suggest there’s no cataloging, a see also relation, or separate movie entries.
