The University of Rochester's libraries provide access to a robust collection of databases containing millions of scholarly journal titles. Be sure to use the filters in these databases to limit your search specifically to journal articles or peer-reviewed sources. Scholarly sources tend to have ample citations to other books and articles and are written by experts in the field. If you're not sure if something counts as a "scholarly" source, check with your librarian for this class she is happy to help.

Several of the library's databases include audiovisual materials including high-resolution images and full-length documentaries and films. Searching for non-text based sources can be challenging, so think creatively about your search – what words do you think would be used to describe your ideal image...or what words might be in the title for a relevant film? Think about your search terms carefully and reach out if you have any questions!
