Searching for Books
Try searching the UNCW library catalog for books related to your topic. You can try film as one of the keywords and then choose your general topic as the other. For example, if you are looking for information about gender, search film and gender. Or if you are researching political issues, try film and politics. Books can be good general resources, particularly for background information.
