2. WHY YOU SHOULD SEARCH MORE THAN
ONE DATABASE
• APA PsycArticles = Full-text journals collection that includes the 41 journals
published by the APA and additional journals from allied organizations. Covers
1894-present.
• APA PsycInfo = journal articles, book chapters, books, dissertations and
technical reports published worldwide in the field of psychology. Also covers
the psychological aspects of related disciplines, such as medicine, psychiatry,
nursing, sociology, education, pharmacology, physiology, linguistics,
anthropology, business, and law. Covers 1887 – present.
*** Most articles are unique to one database or the other. Good scholarship
requires searching both, so you don’t miss something, However, because both
databases are on the same platform (EBSCO), you can search more efficiently and
more exhaustively by searching them simultaneously. See the follow slides to
learn how to do this.
