DGM 2600: The Animated Image

Lists useful resources and search tips for research in animation

Getting Started

There are so many possible research topics in animation that it can be tricky to narrow things down to something that fits your assignment and that you can find sources for. As you work on your topic, think about:

  • Can you narrow your topic to a time period? An art movement or style? 
  • Are there synonyms that you can use as search terms? Is there another way to describe what you're looking for?
  • If you can't find articles about a specific film, try broadening your search to a genre or a studio. 
  • If you can't find articles about a specific type of animation job, try broadening your search to other similar jobs.

OneSearch & ProQuest

Search tabs from Library homepage. Left: OneSearch. Right: ProQuestOneSearch and ProQuest are the Fulton Library's main databases. They allow you to search the library's articles, books, streaming media, and more. OneSearch and ProQuest include resources on almost every topic, making it a great place to start your research!

To use either of these databases, go to the UVU Fulton Library Homepage link below. Use the tabs in the search box to navigate between OneSearch and ProQuest. Enter search terms into the box, then hit enter or click the magnifying glass. 

We recommend using both databases because, while there is some overlap between the two, each database features a lot of unique content.
