These are good databases for research topics in Journalism. 

The databases Communication & Mass Media Complete, Academic Search Complete, and PsycINFO are EBSCO products.   The EBSCO interface is very user-friendly and was upgraded in Summer 2008 to offer even more functionality.    The guide below discusses how to search in these databases and how to search more than one database at a time.  

Article databases sometimes houses the full article, and sometimes only the citation information (article title, journal title, volume,  issue, year, etc.) is available.

Often, if the article text isn't included along with the citation, you'll see this Find It @GSU button instead.  Click the button to find out if GSU Library has subscription access to the article you are seeking.   

If it is available online, the 1st link in the Find It @ GSU window will state Full Text Online.  Clicking this will take you to the article, or the journal, in which case it will just take a few clicks to get to your article.

If we don't have the article online the 1st link in the Find It @ GSU window will state We May Have a Copy in Print.  Clicking this will take you to the catalog record of the journal.  Refer back to your citation to locate the issue you need.   Journals are library-use only, but copies of articles can be made in the library using the library copiers which take cash and/or PantherCash.
