Smart Searching: PsycINFO Online
Is searching the behavioral science literature a new adventure for you? Are you new to using PsycINFO on the PsycNET platform? Not even sure what PsycINFO is? APA PsycINFO is a major database for psychology information used for research in psychology and/or related disciplines, such as medicine, education, social work, social science, and organizational behavior. This workshop will teach you time-saving tips to get the best results on PsycINFO by using search tools such as controlled language, field searches, and filters. This workshop will further demonstrate how you can create publication alerts or access past searches.
