Finding film reviews in Ebsco databases
One of the best ways to locate film reviews in library databases is to search all Ebsco databases simultaneously. Here's how:
1. Access any Ebsco database. Seriously, it doesn't matter which one. You find an Ebsco database by selecting the Databases tab on the search box at the library home page and searching "Ebsco." Click into any Ebsco branded database that comes up.
2. In the database, click "Choose Databases. You'll be presented with an option to "Select All." Checkmark this option and click OK.
Now, you are searching dozens of Ebsco databases.
3. Add your search terms. For example, a search for the film JoJo Rabbit finds over 300 results. On the left side of the page, under Limit To, checkmark "Reviews." This omits all other types of articles so that you left with only film reviews.
