CMM101: Public Speaking Research Guide: Find Articles

Use these databases first to find articles related to your speech topics.

These databases may also have statistics and articles helpful to your speech topics.

Directions for finding specific journals in the library databases:

Click the Journals A to Z link below.

In the search box, type the first couple words of the journal title, such as Vital Speeches of the Day and The Quarterly Journal of Speech

Click Search.

Your journal title should appear in the list of results, along with a "Full text access" link. This link will take you to a list of the databases that contain that particular journal.

When you click one of those database links, (like ABI/Inform Global) you are taken to the journal you want. 

If you are looking for a specific article within that journal, type a couple words from the article title in the "Search within this publication" box and click Search.

Your article should appear in the results list.
