Psychology

Use EBSCO Discovery Service  to search all of the Library's databases at once.

1. Enter keywords in the search box
2. After you press 'search', use filters to refine results to include journal articles, full-text, and, if desired, scholarly/peer-reviewed
3. Click on the title to access the full text, if available.

Searching in subject-specific databases can sometimes be more helpful than searching using a general tool like EDS. View the Databases A-Z list for Psychology resources here https://libguides.washjeff.edu/az.php?s=11067&p=1 or link directly to one of the databases below. 

Browsing or searching journals is useful when you are already familiar with your topic, if you've been told by your professor to look in a specific publication, or you are tracking down full-text access to a citation or abstract you found somewhere else. Searching in one journal is typically not an effective way to research a topic. 

To search for a journal by title, use the Find Information drop down menu on the Library's homepage:

1. Click the Find Journals link
2. A new window will open with a search box.
3. Enter the title of the journal (ex: Civil War History) or a keyword (ex: civil war)
4. Click Search
5. Check the "Peer Reviewed Journals" box to limit your results on the left side of the screen. 
6. Each search result will list out the various ways you can access the journal through our library. 
7. For online access click the link
8. For print or microfilm holdings, come to the library for additional assistance in accessing the title.
