WSCA Journals Now Available Online Through EBSCO

by
Sue Pendell, First Vice President

WSCA's journals, The Western Journal of Communication, and Communication Reports, are now available through online search.

As part of transitioning publication of the journals to Taylor and Francis, WSCA also agreed to provide archive copies of the journals to EBSCO for inclusion in its online database, "Communication and Mass Media Complete."  EBSCO recently notified us that it has finished digitizing the archive journals, and they are now available to be searched online.

Many university libraries subscribe to EBSCO's online search service, and faculty and students can conduct general searches for literature on a topic through Academic Search Premier.  In order to insure that WSCA journals are included in the search, users should click on the "Choose Databases" tab and check "Communication and Mass Media Complete" as a database to include.

In addition, NCA members have access to Communication and Mass Media Complete searches by logging onto the Members Area of the NCA website and selecting the "Journals Archive" link.
