Welcome to the subject pages for media and communication studies
These subject pages present a selection of resources relevant for those who study, teach or research media, communication, journalism or films. In the links to the left you will find information about research methods, literature searches, source references, academic writing, databases with new research, links to national and international news, and other archives and source collections. In the general resources you will find links to Kildekompasset, Skrivestua, EndNote and much more.
There is also a collection of dictionaries and encyclopedias that might be iunteresting and relevant to you, and that might be usefull in your research.
Remember that we also have many non-digitized journals - you can find these by searching for journal titles in the library catalog Oria, or by looking in the library basement.
We are constantly developing the collection in consultation with the professional community. Our unique 'Ro' collection contains a wealth of material on American fiction, literary critisism, art, history and politics, with an amphasis on protest movements in the post-war era.
