Social Sciences Quick Search

A new form added to several online communication research guides lets you search for articles directly from the guide without having to first click on the name of a database.

Using this form – labeled Social Sciences Quick Search –you can enter search terms and look for results at once in several key CSA Illumina databases including Communication Abstracts, PsycINFO, Sociological Abstracts, PAIS, ERIC, and others.

Results, with abstracts, will then appear in the familiar CSA Illumnia interface, including the FindIt button for locating the full articles.
The form also includes a link to the Advanced Search screen, which offers options for more defined and precise searching in this same group of databases.

The new form can be found in the following guides:
Interpersonal Communication
CO 372: Mass Communication Theory
CO 451: Gender Roles & Communication
CO 463: Media & Popular Culture

Give it a try, and let me know what you think.
