New Online Journal Subscription – Journal of Screenwriting

Leave a reply

We now have a subscription to the online version of the Journal of Screenwriting. Access is via the  A-Z Journals link on the homepage of Summon. For more information see Jane or Sarah in the library. Below is some publisher information about the journal.

“The Journal of Screenwriting aims to explore the nature of writing for the moving image in the broadest sense, highlighting current academic thinking around scriptwriting whilst also reflecting on this with a truly international perspective and outlook. The journal will encourage the investigation of a broad range of possible methodologies and approaches to studying the scriptwriting form, in particular: the history of the form, contextual analysis, the process of writing for the moving image, the relationship of scriptwriting to the production process and how the form can be considered in terms of culture and society. The journal also aims to encourage research in the field of screenwriting, the linking of scriptwriting practice to academic theory, and to support and promote conferences and networking events on this subject.”

We hope that you are already enjoying the new improved PortalPlus which is now especially designed for UCB students, but if not we have something that might be more tempting for you.

We are proud to announce that the new UCB Discussion Forum goes live today within PortalPlus.  The forum has been created to allow UCB students to:

  • ask for help from fellow students or staff,
  • help peers by answering forum questions,
  • make comments and suggestions regarding our services.

To gain access to the forum you will need to log into PortalPlus and then click on the “Support and Advice” tab.  You will then see a section called “UCB Discussion Forum”.  Click on this to gain access.

Once you are within the forum, you will be able to view messages posted by other members but if you want to post a message yourself you will need to register and then login.  This is a very simple process – but if you have any problems please speak to a member of the LCC staff.

If you need a reminder of what is available within PortalPlus, then please see our short presentation which can be found here.

If you have any questions about PortalPlus, or anything else IT related just come and see us in the Library.
