This Library Research Guide will provide information about and access to some of the most significant research materials available from McFarlin Library related to the discipline of Media Studies.
If you're just beginning your research or you want to develop a basic understanding of Media Studies, check out the Books & E-Books tab. Books often synthesize the available scholarship on a topic.

McFarlin Library provides books in both print and electronic formats.
If you're doing more in-depth research, such as for an upper division or graduate class or a senior project, you'll probably want to track down some journal articles on your topic.
