He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

include books, eBooks,
DVDs, audio, streaming
videos, etc.
2. Research Guides:
Library created guides
to support academic
programs and provide
citation help.
Psychology

etc.
4. Searching Reed Library Resources
1. Library Engine:
Searches many, but
not all, of our
databases.
Most of the best
resources for
Psychology topics
are located in EBSCO
databases.
Library Engine will
search all EBSCO
databases or you
can choose specific
databases.
5. Searching Reed Library Resources
2. Databases:
Choose a subject (ex.
Psychology) or browse by
database title.
Some databases must
be searched separately
because their results do
not appear in Library
Engine Searches.
If the database name
has (EBSCO) after it, those
results will appear in
Library Engine searches so
you don’t have to search
them separately unless
you want to.
6. Searching Reed Library Resources
3. Databases good for
Psychology searches:
“Best Bets!” are listed
at the top.
These are databases
where you are more likely
to find helpful resources
for that subject.
Non-EBSCO databases
you might search
separately for Psychology
topics include:
ScienceDirect
Web of Science
JSTOR
7. Quick Tips for Efficient Searching: Keywords
Before you search, think of the words or concepts of great significance to your topic and
how to connect them so the library’s databases understand what you want.
Ex. psychology in Hollywood movies
You can limit your
results to:
Peer
Reviewed/Scholarly
Journals (see box)
Full Text (the entire
article, not just the
abstract)
Published Date
(sometimes you’ll need
recent articles or
historical ones)
Peer reviewed or scholarly articles are written by experts
for the purpose of sharing original research or analyzing
others' findings. They are reviewed by several other
experts in that field before the article is published in the
journal in order to insure the article's quality.
8. Efficient Searching: Quotation Marks
In EBSCO, if you type in multiple keywords, they are searched in the order in which
they are entered.
Use quotation marks “ ” when you have a specific phrase or title or when you want to
search words in a specific order. Ex. “Girl, Interrupted” movie psychology
9. Efficient Searching: BOOLEAN Operators - AND
Once you have keywords, you need to connect them with Boolean operators so the
database understands how they’re related.
Boolean Operators connect and define the relationship between keywords
AND – all search terms must be present. Use for narrowing your search because the
results should have to do with both search terms.
Ex. Piaget AND puberty
Piaget puberty
10. Efficient Searching: BOOLEAN Operators - OR
OR – any of the search terms can be present. Use with synonyms to broaden your
search.
OR gives you more results. In this case, using “teen development” OR “adolescent
development” expands your search, because you could have results about teen
development, adolescent development, or both of those terms.
“teen
development”
“adolescent
development”
11. Efficient Searching: BOOLEAN Operators - NOT
NOT – excludes search terms.
You won’t have to use NOT as much, but it’s really helpful for excluding results that
are problematic. If you’re interested in adolescent development and want nothing to do
with child development, NOT can fix that.
“adolescent
development”
“child
development”
12. Efficient Searching: Truncation
Truncation searches a keyword stem
Truncation is a great way to search for all of the words that start with the same stem
at once. It’s a more efficient way to search than trying to remember if you’ve searched
for educate or educational yet.
Adoles*
13. Finding the article
1st Check the database record thoroughly. Sometimes links are at the bottom.
2nd Google Scholar - a Web search engine that specifically searches scholarly literature and
academic resources
Use Google Scholar to search for the article title in quotation marks. If the article can be
accessed through FLC’s resources, a link will appear next to it.
*Go to “G” in the FLC list of databases to ensure your search links to FLC resources.
• Not available,
request
through ILL. • Available- click the link
to access the article.
14. If you can’t find the full-text of an article
You can request it through Interlibrary Loan (ILL).
ILL allows patrons to obtain materials not available in our local collection.
Enter your FLC CAS logon and password. Use your FLC email address to create your ILL account.
15. If you can’t find a book

17. Ways to save your article and its citation
• Always double-check the citations. They are not
always formatted correctly.
• You can add the permalink to your citation.
• Email to self or export
to EndNote Online
18. EndNote Online:
EndNote is a software
program available to FLC
students. You can export and
import citations directly into
EndNote Online.
EndNote can store, recall, and
cite bibliographic information
in your chosen style for
composing research papers.
Go to the Reed Library
website under “How Do I?” >
Use EndNote Online
19. EndNote:
To create an
account, click
“Sign up” and be
sure to use your
FLC email address

20. Setting up APA format in EndNote Online:
• Go to Format > Bibliography and choose your references and Bibliographic
style: APA 6th – Sentence Case (so it capitalizes the article title correctly).
• You can choose to Save, Email, or Preview to copy and paste citations into
Word.
