The UvA Library gives access to several pre-selected resources such as subject specific databases (see sample below) and e-journals.

Search the databases (and Google Scholar) preferably using ‘Advanced search’. ‘Advanced search’ allows you to better translate your research question into a search string (a combination of search terms) suited to find the information you need with the resource you are using.

• Communication & Mass Media Complete
  (Mostly) journal articles in the field of communication and (mass) media.
• PsycINFO
  Journal articles, conference papers and dissertations in the field of psychology and related disciplines.
• UvA CataloguePlus
  Books and journals articles on all topics, available online (off campus access possible) or for loan at the UvA Library.
• Web of Science
  Peer reviewed publications (mostly journal articles) on all topics. Use ‘Basic search’ rather than ‘Advanced search’ here.
• Worldwide Political Science Abstracts
  Journal articles, books, conference papers and dissertations in the field of political science, international relations, law and public administration & policy.
• Other databases for Communication Science
• Acquisitions (print books and e-books) for Communication Science. 

The Communication Science collection is located at the Library Learning Centre Roeterseilandcampus, the library for the Faculty of Economics and Business and the Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences.
