Choosing Databases in EBSCO. Start with Communication & Mass Media Complete (CMMC)! After that ... Consider: * Academic Search Premier (broad coverage of many topics) * PsycINFO (scholarly articles in psychology) Use EBSCO's Choose Database » link to search these and related databases * Last stop: Web of Science. Good place to search last. Find more articles; slightly tricky to use. See this PowerPoint in YouTube with voiceover at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfsoIc1xEpo
