PSY 205 (Salazar)

Developed some keywords to start? Great!

The next step is to use those keywords to search the library's databases. While we have a vast number of databases available to you, it can be difficult sometimes to determine which database is useful to your specific research topic.

OneSearch is a search engine that allows you to search most of our databases simultaneously, including sociology and other related disciplines. It is a great starting point to find out what information is available relating back to your topic. You can find OneSearch on the library's homepage (link directs to a new page), or you can start searching below.

OneSearch may seem overwhelming or difficult to use at first, but with practice and experimentation, you will become an amazing seeker of information. To help you out, here is an anatomical look at the most important features of OneSearch.

The Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection is an excellent database for psychology research. It offers sources from top psychology journals covering many related studies and topics

While using the database, you will find additional filters to narrow your search. These include: Full Text, Peer Reviewed, Publication Date, Source Type, Subject, Publication, Language and more. 

Under each article title you will find the basic source information, subject terms to use in your search, and the link to the PDF if available.

Article Record

The article record includes the following: Access to the full-text (if available), linked author(s), Source, and Subject Terms, Abstract, and DOI.

On the right you will also find a list of tools. This includes:

• Print, Email, Save, and Share the article. 
• Always use the Permalink in your citation or for use when sharing the article. This link is permanent and will always link directly to this article. Never use the URL in the browser search, since this link will break.
