Adair Linn Nagata has compiled this list of electronic research materials available wherever you are working:

Dear Colleagues and Students,

Here are some suggestions of electronic databases you can access from
any computer with Internet access, i.e., it is not necessary to be in a
library facility. Like all material on the Internet, you will have to
evaluate for yourself whether or not you consider what you find to be
reliable and helpful.

1. Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ)
http://www.doaj.org/

"This service covers free, full text, quality controlled scientific and
scholarly journals. We aim to cover all subjects and languages. There
are now *1530* journals in the directory. Currently *385*
journals are searchable at article level.
As of today *71917* articles are included in the DOAJ service."

In about 15 minutes, I found these journals that may be relevant to many
of you. Some of them are based at universities and that homepage may
also have other useful links to online resources that you may find valuable.

"Westminster Papers in Communication and Culture (WPCC) is a
peer-reviewed journal, published twice a year in hard copy and PDF
format. WPCC recognises the interdisciplinary nature of the field of
Media and Cultural Studies, and therefore deliberately encourages
diverse methods, contexts and themes. Particular interests include, but
are not limited to, work related to Popular Culture, Media Audiences,
Political Economy, Promotional Culture, New Media, Political
communication, Migration and Diasporic Studies."

3. Questia: http://www.questia.com/

This is a subscription database with many books and articles and
features that allow you to create a "bookshelf" and store the materials
that interest you so that you don't have to download them unless you
want to. Having them in electronic format allows you to search easily
for relevant material and copy passages you want to quote without having
to retype them. Here's what they say about themselves.

"The World's Largest Online Library of Books
Questia is the first online library that provides 24/7 access to the
world's largest online collection of books and journal articles in the
humanities and social sciences, plus magazine and newspaper articles.
You can search each and every word of all of the books and journal
articles in the collection. You can read every title cover to cover.
This rich, scholarly content -- selected by professional collection
development librarians -- is not available elsewhere on the Internet.
Undergraduate, high school, graduate students, and Internet users of all
ages have found Questia to be an invaluable online resource. Anyone
doing research or just interested in topics that touch on the humanities
and social sciences will find titles of interest in Questia.

To complement the library, Questia offers a range of search,
note-taking, and writing tools. These tools help students locate the
most relevant information on their topics quickly, quote and cite
correctly, and create properly formatted footnotes and bibliographies
automatically. Questia provides a comprehensive research environment to
meet students' academic needs."

If you are aware of other resources like these, I would appreciate your
letting me know.

Adair Nagata
