If you are looking for an article published in a particular journal, try searching for it under the E-Journals page.

If NTU subscribes to that particular journal, the next page will indicate which database has access to that particular journal. This is much faster than scanning the list of journals which each database subscribes to.

How do i search for Film Directors via OPAC?

(a) Basic Search
In the basic search screen, you can do a combined keyword search.  For example, if you’re looking for films by Eric Khoo, you can do a search for “khoo eric and videorecording” under the “words” option.  This will limit the hits to AV materials.

(b) Advanced Search
In the Advanced Search screen in OPAC (click on advanced search from the basic screen above),

    1. select “author” and key in the name of the film director
    2. under “format”, click on “audio-visuals” from the drop down box
