University of Nebraska-Lincoln Libraries: Faculty Publications

In a prior edition of this study, we examined whether the established online communication studies indexes—Communication Abstracts, ComIndex, and ComAbstracts—provided a good avenue of access to the journal literature that researchers in the field cite and whether, where the current journal literature was concerned, that avenue of access might be equal or superior to that provided by large, multisubject online indexes. In this iteration of the study, we similarly address EBSCO’s new product for communication studies, Communication & Mass Media Complete.

The moment causes her to reflect on the adoption process and how she lives simultaneously in a culture of love and culture of loss. She copes with the reality that her daughter might want to meet her birthmother one day. As an adoptive mother, she uses the language of adoption, feminism, and postmodernism to share her story.
