That's right, you heard it here first: the same folks who brought you the nifty film review and television review guides have now done the same for theatre and performance reviews.

Use these comprehensive guides to identify the date of release, performance, or publication and then determine which indexes, databases, and full-text reference sources have coverage during the given year. Although it's easy to simply stop at the full-text databases, we encourage researchers to make use of both print and online indexes and sources. Not only is there variation in date range coverage, but each source - despite sometimes considerable overlap - indexes a given set of periodical titles (and even books in certain cases).

We hope that these graphic guides make the review-searching process easier. Enjoy, and let us know what you think!

If you're looking for reviews of old television programs, don't just sit there and pull your hair in frustration - turn to the new Television Review Indexes and Sources information graphic compiled by Emerson librarians.

And don't forget that there's a similar review-finder for film.

Coming soon, another review guide for theater and performance reviews!
