GOING ABOUT YOUR RESEARCH

Aim to use the following libraries to supplement your internet research:

Latymer Media Reference Library - single copies of relevant books organised under Film, Music, TV, Popular Culture etc. Books cannot be taken out of the Media Dept. You should take notes in class or in study periods, and may arrange with the Media teachers for specific pages to be photocopied if this is essential. Books must always be returned to the shelves in PA6 after use.

Latymer Reference Library - there is a media section where you may find some relevant books. The best service offered by this libraby however is the cuttings service - see the Librarian to discuss your topic area and she will start a folder for relevant newspaper cuttings. She may already have a folder of relevant stuff from the last couple of years.

BFI Film and TV library - we will be making a visit to this library on Tottenham Court Road. It is an incredible facility and once we have been, you will be able to make appointments to go back individually if you would like to. It has a world famous collection of material, much of which is not available anywhere else. Details of our trip to follow.

Try to be polite and responsible when borrowing books or asking for help - you are much more likely to get a positive response if you demonstrate you can communicate well and can be trusted to return materials promptly.
