Communications Studies is so cross-disciplinary that it makes sense to begin with
Articles and More, which searches across our hundreds of databases all at once.
The next stop would be our subject's 2 major databases.
-
Communication & Mass Media Complete (EBSCO)If you are doing research on the communicative aspects of linguistics, such as discourse analysis or semantics, this would be a good database to try.
-
Communication Abstracts (EBSCO)
An article database covering communication and media studies, journalism and public relations. Icludes complete coverage of academic journals and some scholarly books in these fields as well as selective coverage of research in other fields that relates to communications topics. The resources in this database are not available in full text, but are often available in other library databases through the FindIt! link.
Next, it makes sense to find books using the OHIO Library Catalog, the catalog of the library.
-
