For your project, you need to find information about a few different kinds of things.
You can find both of these things in the library, but you will probably also want to search the internet. When you're learning about new forms of media, you may find that there isn't a lot of scholarly research on these media forms yet.
OneSearch searches across the CSU to find books, articles, media, datasets, newspaper articles, and more.
Do a basic keyword search in OneSearch to find books, articles, media, and more.
Some tricks you may want to use to find good sources for information about your chosen form of media:
Try combining keywords, using both the new form of media and older forms that are related. For example:
* radio AND podcasts
* television AND YouTube
* "movie theatres" AND Netflix
OneSearch contains information about almost all of the resource you have access to from library. But sometimes it's hard to dig through all of the search results, because they aren't subject focused. You may want to turn to a subject specific database for more focused searching.
