Communication Abstracts: Great for media studies in all forms -- including academic research on social media.
Academic Search Premier: A great next step when HOLLIS seems too big and roomy on your first pass through. Because it's much smaller than HOLLIS in what includes, it can sometimes reveal some starter sources quickly and clearly. Like HOLLIS it's multidisciplinary; it mixes news coverage, magazine stories, scholarly articles, and some book reviews.
FOR LIT / FILM / STREAMING SERIES THAT ARE EXHIBIT SOURCES
MLA International Bibliography: The most important academic database for deep searching of the scholarship produced about all periods of literature (and in all languages). It also has strong and substantial coverage of scholarship on film, popular culture, folklore, and film. If a Literature Department teaches it, you'll find it covered here.
Film and Television Literature Index: Both journalistic and scholarly reviews of film, and critical analysis of cinema and television in all their aspects.
