Communication

This guide is designed to help students and faculty access credible resources related to the study of Communication.

COMM Studies and the Library

We're glad you chose Communication for one of your classes this semester! My name is Keith, the research librarian for Communications, Media, and Arts. I designed this page to help you find the Library resources that will make you successful in your class.  

Did you know that a 2013 study found that students who use the Library had better GPAs and course completion rates than non-Library users?

Becoming familiar with how to use the Library resources will not only help you now, but after transferring to another college or university, you will be familiar with some of their resources also. I have worked with hundreds of students and the top thing they tell me is: I wish I had known about all of the Library's services sooner. It would have been so much easier to complete my classes.

Let's start at the beginning!  

Our Locations 

  • South City Campus Library
  • Taylorsville-Redwood Campus Library
  • Jordan Campus Library

Our Libraries are open throughout the semester and we even extend our hours during finals so that you can have access to study space before your finals tests. Go to our Hours Page for our current hours.

Items you can borrow

Did you know that our library lends you items for free? Here's what we have:

  • Laptops (you can borrow these for a semester but must get them at the Taylorsville-Redwood Library)
  • WiFI Hotspots (you can borrow these for a semester but must get them at the Taylorsville-Redwood Library)
  • DVDs (you can borrow these for 7 days)
  • Books (you can borrow these for 28 days)
  • Textbooks (you can borrow these for 24 hours)

Things you can do from home

Did you know that most college students and professors do their research from home or on the go? They are able to do this because our library resources are online. Here's a quick summary of things you can do online:

By the Way

You can always e-mail me or stop by the Library to set up a research tutoring session:
