Communication and Mass Media Complete
This database focuses on information revolving around mass media and communication. It is a merger of CommSearch and Mass Media Articles Index which were both their individual databases. The majority of the content of this database are journal articles. Communication and Mass Media Complete has controlled vocabulary titled as “Subject Terms”. One surprising thing i found about this database was that it has a meter on the bottom of each article stating how relevant it thinks the article is to your search.
Literature Resource Center
The Literature Resource Center contains biographies, bibliographies, and critical analyses of Authors of literature; such as novelists, poets, essayists, journalists, etc. This database has a variety of formats including critical essays, articles, book reviews, and bibliography. The controlled vocabulary is also very efficient on this database because not only does it a provide a list of different subjects pertaining to your search term, but each link also has the key phrases you search highlighted. One thing that separates this database from other databases is that it contain a really detailed list of subjects to help narrow your search more efficiently.
