JOURNALS
Although psychologists and psychology students use books, dictionaries
and bibliographies, their primary source of information for research and scholarly
activity is journals. Searches for information from journals may be conducted from the
library home page using psyhinfo and psycfirst. While psycinfo is a more
extensive database, psycfirst will tell you if the journal you seek is available locally.
