Find Articles

Because the topic of communication has literature from various journals and resources, use these multidisciplinary sources to search.

EBSCO This link opens in a new window
Use this link to search all of the Library's EBSCO subscriptions, including Academic Search Complete, Business Source Ultimate, CINAHL Plus with Full Text, Computers & Applied Sciences Complete, MEDLINE Complete, and PsycARTICLES. This differs from EBSCO Discovery Service, since it only searches licensed materials from EBSCO.
ProQuest This link opens in a new window
This link brings together ProQuest's four core multi-disciplinary products – ProQuest Central, Academic Complete, Academic Video Online and ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global– and creates a cross-searchable, all-in-one research tool on the same user-friendly, responsive, mobile-enabled ProQuest platform. ProQuest supports your research needs by incorporating scholarly journals, ebooks, dissertations, news, and video content across all disciplines in a unified and seamless user interface.

Find E-Books

Similar to finding articles, the topic of communication has literature from various resources, so searching in any e-book database is likely to bring up a few titles. E-books are well represented in EBSCO Discovery Service so any title available should appear there, but going directly to the platform allows you to do a deep-dive into their content and features.

ProQuest Ebook Central This link opens in a new window
Ebook Central provides unlimited, simultaneous access to over 202,000+ book titles, 29,000+ of which are DRM free. Read entirely online, download excerpts in PDF format, or checkout for 21 days using Adobe Digital Editions. While there is some commonality between Ebook Central and other ebook databases, we estimate it still offers over 90,000 unique titles. Search results are by chapter instead of book title, navigating you to the most relevant part of the book quickly.
These books are also findable in ProQuest One Academic and while searching the general ProQuest link. Most books are findable in regular EDS (library basic search) results, but for all books search Publication Finder or directly in ProQuest.
