Description   Communication & Mass Media Complete combines two earlier databases in the fields of communication and mass media studies -- CommSearch (formerly produced by the National Communication Association), and Mass Media Articles Index (formerly produced by Pennsylvania State University). The new database offers full-text coverage for more than 280 titles plus citation coverage for many more. Many major journals have indexing, abstracts, PDFs, and searchable citations from their first issues to the present (dating as far back as the early 1900s).

CMMC uses a controlled vocabulary and includes linked references for all "core" peer- reviewed journals. Search limits include the ability to restrict search results to full-text, scholarly (peer-reviewed) journals, or articles that include references.
Dates covered   Varies by title, but ranges from the early 1900s to the present.
Updating frequency   Updated as new issues are published.
Sources   Journals, encyclopedias, and handbooks.
Type of coverage   Indexing with abstracts and full-text or full-image content for many sources. Due to publishers' restrictions, full-text content is unavailable for the most recent 12 months of some journals.
Print Counterpart or related resources   CommSearch; Individual titles indexed are also published in paper format, and IRIS lists those that are available at Rutgers.
Provider   Producer or content provider: Various scholarly publishers.
Vendor or electronic presentation provider: EBSCO Publishing
Help   Help is available via a link in the upper right corner of every screen.
