Books and ebooks are the first academic sources that you will use to develop your understanding of your subject.
Start with your reading list but then explore more books on the shelves by browsing the film and media sections.
You can find ebooks just by searching the main library website but it can also be useful to search one of the ebook platforms to find extra book material. The advantage of doing this is that you can search for keywords within the text and find reference to your topic area within the chapters. I would recommend a search on Ebook Central to find extra book material for your dissertation/final year project.

Film and media students are required to use the Harvard referencing style when citing sources in assessments. The University of Lincoln has a dedicated version of Harvard to follow which ensures consistency. By citing your sources and providing a reference list of all the materials you have used, you can ensure that you have followed the correct academic procedures and avoid plagiarism.
