Research

You can access books from Dension's library and other libraries in Ohio. Using the CONSORT Library Catalog, you will have access to books at Denison, Kenyon, Ohio Wesleyan and the College of Wooster. From within the catalog, you can access OhioLINK, which gives you access to the books in most university libraries in Ohio. You can also use WorldCat, a catalog of materials held worldwide. Materials in WorldCat that are not available through CONSORT and OhioLINK can be requested through Interlibrary Loan.

Use a 'keyword' search to find materials inside a book or a 'subject' search to look for books by subject. Some good subjects to try are:

• Women in motion pictures
• Feminism and motion pictures
• Motion pictures and women
  
• Women and literature
• Feminism and literature

Online databases are excellent sources for finding journal articles, book chapters, newspaper articles,and more. Use this list of links as starting points to find journal articles on your topic, but you can also explore the list of Online Resources or the Cinema and Women's Studies subject pages linked from the Doane Library Home Page.
