Databases, Indexes, and Abstracts (Subject Specific)
Communication
& Mass Media Complete - provides the most robust,
quality research solution in areas related to communication and
mass
media. This database originated with the acquisition and subsequent
merging of two popular databases in the fields of communication and
mass media studies -- CommSearch (formerly produced by the
National Communication Association (NCA)), and Mass Media
Articles Index (formerly produced by Pennsylvania State
University).
CommSearch offered bibliographic and keyword references to 26
journals
in communication studies, with coverage extending to the inaugural
issue
of each -- some from as far back as the early decades of the 20th
century.
It also included cover-to-cover indices of NCA’s six journals (from
their
first editions to the present), and abstracts from their earliest
appearance in
NCA journals. Mass Media Articles Index provided citation
coverage of over
40,000 articles related to mass media and published in over 60 research
journals, as well as major journalism reviews, recent encyclopedias,
and
handbooks in the area of communications studies. The
database offers
full text for over 200 titles
and contains citation coverage for additional
sources. In total, several hundred valuable sources are covered.
