Other databases and websites Created by Andrea Dottolo, Ph.D., Department of Psychology, University of Massachusetts, Lowell

Steps in this tutorial 1) State goal of this tutorial 2) What are other databases and websites I might use to find information in psychology? 3) How are they different from google? 4) How to I access them online? Created by Andrea Dottolo, Ph.D., Department of Psychology, University of Massachusetts, Lowell

Goal The goal of this tutorial is to introduce you to other databases that might be relevant to psychology. Created by Andrea Dottolo, Ph.D., Department of Psychology, University of Massachusetts, Lowell

Objectives By the end of this tutorial you should be able to Navigate the web to get to PsycArticles Academic Search Premier Google Scholar Created by Andrea Dottolo, Ph.D., Department of Psychology, University of Massachusetts, Lowell

How is are these databases different from Google? A google search will search the entire web for anything and everything A google.scholar search will search the entire web for scholarly articles in any and all disciplines Each of these databases will search only scholarly publications related to their intended scope. PsycArticles: psychology Academic Search Premier: most academic disciplines, including science, social science & humanities. Created by Andrea Dottolo, Ph.D., Department of Psychology, University of Massachusetts, Lowell

What is PsycArticles? PsycArticles contains full text journal articles published by a select number of publishers in psychology. Created by Andrea Dottolo, Ph.D., Department of Psychology, University of Massachusetts, Lowell

Why would I use PsycArticles? PsycInfo contains many more sources and publishers than PsycArticles, but you might use it as another way to search, and for more full-text articles. Created by Andrea Dottolo, Ph.D., Department of Psychology, University of Massachusetts, Lowell

How do I get to PsycArticles? Here is one way to get to ERIC 1. Go to uml.edu 2. Click on the link that says “Libraries” at the very top center of the page in light blue font underneath the address bar. 3. Then click on “Databases” on the black, left side bar. Created by Andrea Dottolo, Ph.D., Department of Psychology, University of Massachusetts, Lowell

How do I get to PsycArticles? Here you can browse by subject area. Click on “Psychology.” This page has links to the relevant databases in education. Click on PsycArticles. Created by Andrea Dottolo, Ph.D., Department of Psychology, University of Massachusetts, Lowell

What is Academic Search Premier? Academic Search Premier is a database collection that contains over 8,000 journals from nearly every area of academic discipline including: psychology, computer sciences, engineering, physics, chemistry, language and linguistics, arts & literature, medical sciences, ethnic studies, and many more. Created by Andrea Dottolo, Ph.D., Department of Psychology, University of Massachusetts, Lowell

Why would I use Academic Search Premier? As a psychology student, you might use Academic Search Premier (in addition to PsycInfo) because many researchers in medical disciplines publish about topics that overlap with psychology, and various subareas, like neuropsychology. For example, Drug treatments Sexual health Food and nutrition The psychology of particular diseases (such as cancer or diabetes) Created by Andrea Dottolo, Ph.D., Department of Psychology, University of Massachusetts, Lowell

Why would I use Academic Search Premier? Psychology came about as a discipline as a combination of several other disciplines, including education, philosophy, and biology. In your search, you might want to cast a wide net, or disciplinary scope in your topic search. Further, psychology is incorporating more interdisciplinary perspectives into teaching and scholarship. For example, the Society for Teaching and Learning advocates transdisciplinarity as an important component of learning curriculum. Created by Andrea Dottolo, Ph.D., Department of Psychology, University of Massachusetts, Lowell

How do I get to Academic Search Premier? 1. Go to uml.edu 2. Click on the link that says “Libraries” at the very top center of the page in light blue font underneath the address bar. 3. Then click on “Databases” on the black, left side bar. Created by Andrea Dottolo, Ph.D., Department of Psychology, University of Massachusetts, Lowell

How do I get to Academic Search Premier? Since Academic Search Premier contains literature from so many disciplines, it is probably easiest to “Find databases alphabetically by title” 4. Click on “A” or 5. Scroll down to Academic Search Premier and click on it. Created by Andrea Dottolo, Ph.D., Department of Psychology, University of Massachusetts, Lowell

They look like PsycInfo! Once you “arrive” at the PsycArticles or Academic Search Premier databases, you will see that they look very similar to PsycInfo, and function in the same ways. See the tutorial on PsycInfo for information on Boolean operators Using the thesaurus Basic Search Advanced Search Created by Andrea Dottolo, Ph.D., Department of Psychology, University of Massachusetts, Lowell

Another cool feature… When you “arrive” at the PsycArticles or Academic Search Premier main pages, at the top you will see a link labeled “Choose Databases” If you click on this link, you will see all the other databases sponsored by EBSCO host, and you can click on the ones that are relevant to your search topic. Then, you can search all of these databases at the same time! For example, I could search PsycArticles, PsycInfo, and ERIC all at once. (See tutorials on PsycInfo and Eric for more information) Created by Andrea Dottolo, Ph.D., Department of Psychology, University of Massachusetts, Lowell

What is Google Scholar? A Google Scholar search will search the entire web for scholarly articles in any and all disciplines, including: Articles Theses and dissertations Books Abstracts Court opinions Created by Andrea Dottolo, Ph.D., Department of Psychology, University of Massachusetts, Lowell

Why would I use Google Scholar? As a psychology student, you might use Google Scholar (in addition to PsycInfo) also to cast a wide net, maybe even as a preliminary way to search your topic, or after you’ve searched other psychology databases to see if you’ve missed anything. Created by Andrea Dottolo, Ph.D., Department of Psychology, University of Massachusetts, Lowell

How do I get to Google Scholar? 1. Go to google.com 2. Type “google scholar” 3. click on the first link OR Go to http://scholar.google.com/ Created by Andrea Dottolo, Ph.D., Department of Psychology, University of Massachusetts, Lowell

Google Scholar Searching Google Scholar is just like searching google, except that the results are scholarly sources. For example, if I search google for “adolescent development” I get 44,100,000 results, including all kinds of websites and non-academic sites. If I search Google Scholar with the same search terms, I get 1,750,000 results, which is still a lot, but will point me in the direction of scholarly research. Created by Andrea Dottolo, Ph.D., Department of Psychology, University of Massachusetts, Lowell

Conclusion This concludes this tutorial on how to use other databases and websites, including PsycArticles, Academic Search Premier, and Google Scholar. Created by Andrea Dottolo, Ph.D., Department of Psychology, University of Massachusetts, Lowell
