Research
It is important, even for an artist, creator, or designer, that you know how to conduct research; it’s not just for scientists or medical doctors. Through your journey here at LAFS, you will understand the importance of Information Literacy, which means to be information literate. You must be able to recognize when information is needed and have the ability to locate, evaluate, and use it effectively. Visit the Research Guide to start your search!
Our popular page is our A-Z Databases. A research database is a set, or collection of data, which is gathered and made available online. Most of the databases you will be using here, come from academic or open access libraries.
- Academic Search Elite (EBSCOhost)
- Alexander Street Press Film Scripts Online
- Business Source Elite (EBSCOhost)
- EBSCO eBooks (EBSCOhost)
- ERIC (EBSCOhost)
- Film & Television Literature Index (EBSCOhost)
- Flipster Magazines (EBSCOhost)
- Henry Stewart Marketing Journals Collection
- Hit Songs Deconstructed
- Kanopy
- LinkedIn Learning
- Naxos Music Library
- O’Reilly Online Learning
- Pro Sound Effects
- ProQuest eBook Central
- ProQuest Journal Databases
- Regional Business News (EBSCOhost)
- Swank Digital Campus
- Variety Insight
Often, you will need to sign in with your LAFS credentials upon accessing some of these Databases. For further instructions on how to access or do simple searches, you may find helpful guides under the Tutorials page.
The Library team has created helpful instructions on how to access, log in and do research in several of our databases. Other tutorials about navigating the Library website and Koha can also be found here.
The Subject Guides are developed by our Library Staff that focuses on specific subject areas. In any of our Subject Guides, you may find databases relevant to the subject area and links to books, websites, journals, magazines, and more!
The Library team has added many outside resources (most of these online resources are free) for Students, Alumni, and Staff to utilize for their class assignments or general/personal use.
Don’t forget, learn and utilize as much as you can about the information available to you provided by the Library!
