General Information:
Websites for basic film information such as company information, release dates,
character names, etc., for lists of review articles, and for general direction
for scholarly research. None of these websites are considered scholarly sources
and should not be depended upon for support for your argument:
Film Reviews:
Particularly for recent films, databases like Lexis-Nexis, Wilson Omnifile, ABI/INFORM,
and Proquest can locate film reviews and often provide full text articles. These
databases can be accessed through the Ingram Library website:
http://www.westga.edu/~library/databases/. Additionally, the library
catalogue lists over 30 books under the subject heading "Motion Pictures
Reviews," and these might provide information, particularly for older films.
Scholarly Articles:
While the databases above, particularly ABI/INFORM and Proquest which can be
searched through GALILEO on the library website, can sometimes provide scholarly
articles on film, the two main resources for such articles are the MLA
Database, which must be accessed at school or with a network password if you
are off-campus, and the Film Literature Index. The FLI is not the most
complete of databases, but you should try a search there.
Film Books and Collections:
Although Ingram Library is not enormous, the University System of Georiga is
and you should utilize the GIL Universal Catalogue as much as possible, in
addition to InterLibraryLoan (ILL) for articles. When searching for film books,
you must remember that the Library of Congress subject heading for film is still
"Motion Pictures." You might browse though the subject headings to see if your
topic is covered.
