Using Online Databases to Find Articles:
While Tripod will tell you what books and journals are owned by the TriCollege Libraries, online databases and indexes will tell you what articles are in which newspapers and journals. Remember that film studies and women's studies are both interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary so you may have to search in more than one or two of these sources to find relevant citations to articles and reviews.
