Books that address communication studies topics can be found via searches on InfoHawk+, World Cat, and by just browsing the shelves in subject areas. The call number table doesn't include every topic that you might want to research but will help you get started. Don't be alarmed if you search for a book and it isn't within these call numbers - that just means the book may have had more importance in a different subject area. It can still have valuable information for your topic!

WorldCat (or world catalog) searches the holdings of libraries all around the world. If InfoHawk+ doesn't have what you are looking for, try WorldCat - it contains over 2 billion records for items! And many of those items are available for you to borrow through Interlibrary Loan.
Use the "Libraries worldwide that own item" link to see which libraries have the items you want. You can then "Request item" from the link on WorldCat. Not everything that you see on WorldCat can be borrowed, but it's worth checking into!
