Journals and magazines held by the UMass Dartmouth Library are shelved alphabetically by title on the 3rd floor of the library.

Electronic Collections

UMD E-Resources

The University Library provides access to a number of databases for the use of the University community.

There is no single electronic database devoted to film, but several of the databases available at UMD will prove useful. Remember that the Film Literature Index is available in print in Reference (Indexes PN1993 .F54).

MLA International Bibliography covers many film-related topics, including comparisons of film and literature, studies of international films, and cultural studies and critiques of film. Humanities Index also includes coverage of film-related topics.

Feel free to ask for further advice on selecting databases at the reference desk.
