How to Find Motion Picture Information: Home

When looking for movie information and reviews, it's easy to go to Google to find reviews. But what if you want more authoritative sources or more in-depth analysis -- for a research paper or project? This guide will help you find some of the best online and print sources for information, reviews, and analyses of movies.

If you are ready to jump right in, here are the main places to start:

• Research@UWW - Find "Everything" (articles, books, & more)
  This discovery tool searches multiple resources simultaneously (articles from many disciplines, books, ebooks, videos, digital resources, government documents, etc.), or you can change from searching "Everything" to only "Articles" or just our local resources (not articles), i.e., UWW's books, media, government documents, and more.
• A-Z Databases List
  Online research databases available through the Library. Search these resources to find articles and other information on your topic, primarily in journals, magazines, and newspapers. Databases are available via the alphabetical listing, or sorted by broad subject area using the drop-down menus at the top.
• Google Scholar
  Google Scholar can help you find both books and articles, but if you use Google Scholar from off campus, configure the settings to use Andersen Library's full text subscription access.
• Journals
  Use this search to find out whether the Library owns a particular journal, magazine, or newspaper, as well as the dates and formats available. Search by periodical title, as opposed to article title.
