Search the following databases to locate citations and/or full text of journal articles. In some cases, the database will provide links to the full text of articles. If you see a  button next to an article of interest, click it to determine whether the journal is available in the Geisel Library or in full text via another electronic database. WebBridge will also help you request articles through Interlibrary Loan if they aren't available through our library. If there is no WebBridge button, search for the journal's availability using the Journal Finder. Journals listed as being in "Geisel Library Paper Holdings" are shelved alphabetically by journal title on the Lower Level of the library.
Core Resources
PsycINFO
The PsycINFO database contains more than 1.5 million references to psychological literature spanning 1887 to the present day. It includes citations to journal articles, dissertations, reports, English-language book chapters and books, and other scholarly documents relevant to psychology and the psychological aspects of such disciplines as education, business, medicine, nursing, law, and social work. User Guide
PubMed
PubMed is a database of biomedical citations and abstracts that includes Medline (see above). Use this database to search for
citations to articles that aren't in Medline because they're outside of that database's scope—for example, citations to general
science and general chemistry journals. It also contains some citations that aren't in Medline: current citations not yet added
and older citations. In some cases, this database also provides links to full-text articles and will also provide links to citations
to related articles.
User Guide Further information on PubMed and Medline.

Searching the World Wide Web can yield a vast amount of information, but in terms of quality and reliability, your results may be uneven at best. The ease and speed with which individuals can publish information on the web, regardless of accuracy or quality, makes it imperative that when doing research on the web you know how to evaluate the information you find.

Authoratory
"Authoratory enables you to find the most prolific writers on a topic — type in a search term and you see a list of authors whose articles cover those topics." (Mary Ellen Bates, April 2007)

Google Scholar
In November 2004 Google introduced Google Scholar, a search engine to locate scholarly literature. Materials found in Google Scholar include "peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, abstracts and articles from academic publishers, professional societies, preprint repositories, universities and other scholarly organizations" (About Google Scholar, 2006). Some, but not all, of the content in Google Scholar is available in full text. Google Scholar is a good starting point for research, but it is not considered comprehensive for scholarly content. For the most thorough search of a topic, consult subject-specific indexes (CJ Abstracts, PsycINFO, SocINDEX, etc.).
