This reference book is designed as a road map for researchers who
need to find specific information about American mass communication
as expeditiously as possible. Taking a topical approach, it
integrates publications and organizations into subject-focused
chapters for easy user reference. The editors define mass
communication to include print journalism and electronic media and
the processes by which they communicate messages to their
audiences. Included are newspaper, magazine, radio, television,
cable, and newer electronic media industries. Within that
definition, this volume offers an indexed inventory of more than
1,400 resources on most aspects of American mass communication
history, technology, economics, content, audience research, policy,
and regulation.
As the telecommunication and information field expands and becomes
more varied, so do publications about these technologies and
industries. This book is a first attempt to provide a general guide
to that wealth of English-language publications -- both books and
periodicals -- on all aspects of telecommunication. It is a
comprehensive, evaluative sourcebook for telecommunications
research in the United States that brings together a
topically-arranged, cross-referenced, and indexed volume in one
place. The information provided is only available by consulting a
succession of different directories, guides, bibliographies,
yearbooks, and other resources.
This reference book is designed as a road map for researchers who need to find specific information about American mass communication as expeditiously as possible. Taking a topical approach, it integrates publications and organizations into subject-focused chapters for easy user reference. The editors define mass communication to include print journalism and electronic media and the processes by which they communicate messages to their audiences. Included are newspaper, magazine, radio, television, cable, and newer electronic media industries. Within that definition, this volume offers an indexed inventory of more than 1,400 resources on most aspects of American mass communication history, technology, economics, content, audience research, policy, and regulation. The material featured represents the carefully considered judgment of three experts -- two of them librarians -- plus four contributors from different industry venues. The primary focus is on the domestic American print and electronic media industries. Although there is no claim to a complete census of all materials on print journalism and electronic media -- what is available is now too vast for any single guide -- the most important and useful items are here. The emphasis is on material published since 1980, though useful older resources are included as well. Each chapter is designed to stand alone, providing the most important and useful resources of a primary nature -- organizations and documents as well as secondary books and reports. In addition, online resources and internet citations are included where possible.
Devoted exclusively to women writers from the English-speaking world, this book presents undergraduate students with an array of important resources necessary for 21st-century literary research. Acclaimed experts Katharine A. Dean, Miriam Conteh-Morgan, and James K. Bracken carefully select the most authoritative, informative, and useful Web sites and print resources for today's college and university students. Represented are more than 180 women writers, from the medieval to the contemporary period, whose works are featured in widely used literature anthologies. The chronological arrangement parallels that of popular anthologies and most course approaches. For each author, you will find concise lists of the best Web sites as well as printed sources such as biographies and criticisms, dictionaries and handbooks, indexes and concordances, journals, and bibliographies.
Designed to serve the basic needs of literary researchers of all degrees of sophistication, this book updates and expands on the author's previous work by the same title. Focusing on the most important and useful resources for modern researchers and students of English literature, Bracken identifies and describes a substantial portion of the currently available reference sources in British and American literature-dictionaries, encyclopedias, handbooks, periodicals, and so forth-with more than 1,500 resources on individual writers. Descriptive annotations offer thorough and detailed assessments of the works, noting specific features and often comparing them to similar titles. Numerous cross-references are given. A valuable research tool for students and scholars, this text will also be useful to bibliographic instructors and collection development specialists.
