Printed
Indexes
To find articles older than 1985, you will need to consult printed
indexes, since databases typically don't cover older than that. Printed
indexes do the same thing as databases--let you find articles by subject,
author, etc.--they are just slower because you have to look the citations up
manually. Here are some printed indexes helpful to RTVF students:
Film
literature index
(from 1973-1994)
Retrospective
index to film periodicals (from 1930-1971)
Los Angeles Times
Newspaper Index (from 1972-1984)
New York Times
Newspaper Index (from 1851- on)
