Communication Yearbook

Published by the International Communication Association, Communication Yearbook contains "state-of-the-discipline literature reviews" on current issues in communication research. T he goals are to concisely summarize current research and suggest directions for future research. Recent volumes have included essays on such diverse subjects as bullying, work-life research, forgiveness, media content, trauma, and identity.

Communication Yearbook is an excellent source for:

1. learning what's going on in communication research right now,

2. getting ideas for papers,

3. finding citations to relevant publications when you're actively engaged in researching a subject.

Communication Yearbook is located in the Reference Area on the main floor of Buley. The call number is: REF P 87 .C5974 followed by a volume number (e.g. v.31)

Other handbooks function in much the same way, but focus on particular subsection of communication (e.g. gender, business, race) rather than the discipline as a whole.
