Communications Research Guide

Welcome

 

Welcome to the research guide for Communications at TLU!

If you have any questions about locating, evaluating, incorporating, and citing sources, please feel free to ask a librarian.

1: Find background information in reference books

Reference books can provide background material and be a launching point for further research. The following titles are great starting points, but you can find many more in the library catalog advanced search with the Location limited to Reference. You can also search for e-reference items using our Gale Virtual Reference Library or Credo Reference.

2. Need books or ebooks? Search the Library Catalog

The Library Catalog is the gateway to finding books. Search the catalog for books about speeches, film, gender, culture, or media.

 

Advanced Search

​Blumberg Memorial Library arranges materials by the Library of Congress Classification System. Books on communications generally fall into the following call numbers:

Communication     P87-96
