The best way to locate articles is through the library databases.  Go to Databases by Subject and look under the category Communication Studies, Film, & Theatre (CST) or Information Technology (ITD, ITE, ITN, ITP) to find a list of relevant databases.  You can also perform a search in the databases below.

• Do not enter complete sentences in the search box. Use relevant topics or keywords to perform your search.
• Put the word AND between search terms; social media AND mental health
• Connect related terms using OR; social media OR social networking OR Instagram OR Twitter OR Facebook
• Look for additional keywords or subjects offered.
• Look for toolbars that provide print, email, and citation options.

Suggested keywords:

• [film name in quotation marks] ex: "Wall-E"
• [film release year if needed; helpful for remakes] ex: 2008
• motion picture or film or movie or cinema
• [film element] for example:
  • character or characters
  • plot or storyline
  • scene or scenes
  • visual elements or visuals or cinematography
