Communication and Mass Media Complete
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. EBSCO has combined the extensive coverage of these two resources, and has greatly
expanded upon them (both in terms of content and scope) to create CMMC. In addition,
Communication & Mass Media Complete offers full text for over 200 titles and contains
citation coverage for additional sources. In total, several hundred valuable sources are
covered. To further develop and enhance this database, EBSCO has established two working
groups of expert advisors represented by leading librarians, bibliographers, professionals,
and other experts in relevant subject areas. Indeed, Communication & Mass Media
Complete provides an invaluable resource for students, researchers, and educators
interested in any and all aspects of communication and mass media.
Access is available to Wisconsin residents. Specifically, all public, academic and special libraries, PK-12 schools, institutions of higher education and individual Wisconsin citizens with Internet access. For more information, visit:
