I'm having issues finding scholarly resources for this topic.
I am researching African Americans portrayed in the media today and their stereotypes?
Answer
Hello Lauren
If you login to the Myottawa page with your OUID and password and go to the link for the Online Library Databases on the right side of the Gangwish library page, I would suggest going to Ebscohost in our databases and select the Communication and Mass Media Complete Database and combine it the Academic Search Ultimate by check marking both databases. I used this database entering the search:(Make sure you choose advanced search for your search)
African Americans AND media AND stereotypes (also note the options below when you type in stereotypes as there are many other search term options open to you and you can see them on the page when you search)
Before conducting the search make sure that you do below the search box to select full-text and peer reivews by check marking those boxes. Then you can conduct your search.
If you replicate my search, I found 165 full-text articles. You are welcome to replicate my search or use terms that open when you enter any of the other terms in the search to improve your search.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to email me here.
Thanks/
