This fall VCU acquired access to PsycINFO via the American Psychological Association's (APA) PsycNet. The new interface permits searching across five databases simultaneously to locate scholarly literature, book chapters, gray literature, and other valuable sources in the fields of behavioral sciences and mental health.
On Wednesday, November 10th, VCU Libraries is offering two identical forty minute workshops for anyone interested in learning how to navigate the new interface and gaining hands-on experience searching PsycINFO.
Participants will learn to:
- create a complex search using a variety of fields
- limit results to a specific age group, population, publication type, research methodology
- create a MY PsycNET account to save successful searches and set up email alerts when new records are added to this search
Both workshops will be held on the third floor of Cabell Library in room 319. No advance registration is necessary.
Date: Wednesday, November 10, 2010
Time: 12:00 PM - 12:40 p.m.
Time: 03:00 PM - 03:40 p.m.
