As of 02/04/04, all PSU users now have access to a new Communications database: Communication & Mass Media Index. To access this database, visit the Libraries' E-Resource list and select Communication & Mass Media Index (CMMI) from the list.

Some facts about the Communication & Mass Media Index:
It contains:
**all detailed bibliographic records and full-text content from CommSearch (this database replaces and effectively retires CommSearch)
**all detailed bibliographic records from Mass Media Articles Index
**indexing, abstracts and detailed bibliographic records for all major communication and/or mass media journals that were not previously covered by CommSearch or Mass Media Articles Index.

More than 285 core journals are indexed and abstracted cover-to-cover in CMMI. Approximately 100 additional journals will be indexed selectively for those articles which are relevant to the study of communications and mass media research. To see the list of core journals included in CMMI, click here, and scroll down the list until you reach CMMI.
