The UVU Library Puts the Word Out

Communication and rhetoric are popular subjects here at Utah Valley University. Every week we help students research interpersonal communication, technology and communication, gender differences in communication, and so many other related topics that we wanted to post something that will help give you a leg up the next time you need articles in this area.

Communication Collection

Many of our books about public speaking, communication, and rhetoric can be found on the fourth floor of the Library at section PE. Any books we don't have, we can request for you from another library through our Interlibrary Loan service. Our books can be checked out for three weeks at a time.

Communication and Mass Media Complete

This database is the best place to start for most communications and rhetoric topics. It contains a mix of popular and scholarly literature written by experts in the field and professional writers on a wide range of topics, including language and grammar, public relations, rhetoric in advertising and mass media, and many more.

Communication Research Guide

This research guide does double duty. It points to many resources for communication and rhetoric research as well as resources to help speech writers get started. The guide lists helpful reference books, article databases, and vetted websites.

If you have questions about researching communication, please talk to Kim Rollins, our communications subject librarian. You are also more than welcome to ask at the Reference Desk.
