Resource Highlight

Have you used any of the Oxford Handbooks before? Give them a shot! Oxford Handbooks are excellent places to both start AND continue your research. They are authoritative and state-of-the-art surveys of current thinking and research by scholars in a particular field. They are wildly interdisciplinary, including quite a few that are solely focused on dance. Examples include: Oxford Handbook of Dance and Wellbeing; Oxford Handbook of Screendance Studies; Oxford Handbook of Contemporary Ballet; Oxford Handbook of Dance and Ethnicity; and many more. Check them out today!

If you're researching off campus then you will need to login to the UCI VPN for authentication through the campus network. There are three different methods: Software, Web, and Mobile. Software takes a little more time to setup the first time, but it works with all resources. Web is known to not work well with many of the streaming media resources.
