It also depends if you are looking for (a) the actual video art by a specific artists or on theme/subject; or, (b) reviews, criticism, etc. in various secondary publications. For the latter, databases like Art Bibliographies Modern and Art Full Text/Art Index Retrospective are useful starting places. Film studies databases like Film and Television Literature Index will provide some coverage, but that's dependent on the extent to which cinema and media studies journals are actually publishing criticism in this area. There are also times when databases like Alternative Press Index or Readers Guide, for example, can prove useful sources for locating non-academic articles in magazines.
