Database Spotlight: Communication Studies: A SAGE Full-Text Collection

If you need to point your students to a Communication database that is 100% Full-Text, the database Communication Studies: A SAGE Full-Text Collection might be the way to go. Though it is important to remember, that even though all the articles are available in Full-Text, the overall coverage of this database is not as in-depth as other databases such as CommAbstracts or Communication and Mass Media Complete. Still, Communication Studies: A SAGE Full-Text Collection is a great place for students to access articles in Communication/Communication Studies.

The database is accessible from the Albertsons Library's Homepage under the ARTICLES, FIND ARTICLES, or ONLINE DATABASES links which will take you to the Library's A-Z database list. The database can also be accessed on campus directly from here.
