How To Access the DisNet Bibliography

Interested in finding research on Disney? You’ve come to the right place! DisNet is compiling a bibliography of research on Disney, including all of its affiliates. So, whether you’re researching Walt the man, Classic Disney, the field’s changing conceptions of the Renaissance, or how Disney has managed Marvel and Lucasfilm, you’ve come to the right place!

Ready to get started? Just click on this button below to take you to the Zotero library where we keep citations and links to the research:

 Navigating the Bibliography

Once you’re in the bibliography, you have a few options of how to find the kinds of sources you’re looking for:

Perhaps the easiest way is to use the search box in the top right hand corner to search the topic you’re looking for (just know: the search is exact word matches, so it won’t help you find sources unless the word you search is in the title or author’s name):

 You can also use tags, clicking on any terms you see in the bottom left hand corner:

 Every source has tags on it. So, once you find a source that’s on the topic you’re most interested in, click on it, click on the tags tab:

…and you’ll see tags that have been attributed to that source. You can then click any of those tags to take you to a list of all the sources in our bibliography that also have that tag.

Finally, you can take advantage of our collections, which can be found on the left-hand side of the page:

There are three main collections–Media Type, Studios, and Topic (the Studios collection is open in the pictured example)–that are then broken down into subcollections, such as Lucasfilm, Marvel, and Pixar. If you click on any of the subcollections, you will find sources relevant to that area of study.

You can also stack these search methods. If you go into a subcollection, you can then use tags to narrow your search even more. 

Notice Missing Sources?

Of course, there is so much research on Disney that our bibliographers can’t possibly collect everything. So, if there’s something missing that you would like added to the bibliography, or if you’d like to volunteer as a bibliographer, reach out to Rebecca Rowe at info@dis-net.org.
