Research Guidelines

Campilli -- Journal Project

To begin searching for scholarly journal articles for your Psych1a journal project you will want to use EBSCOhost or Gavilan OneSearch.

  • EBSCOhost is a database of periodical articles. These include magazines, newspapers and journals. Empirical studies will be published in scholarly journals.
  • Gavilan OneSearch is a single search option to search all of the library content at once.

Tips & Tricks

  • The most challenging part of looking for an article is picking the correct search term(s). Our best advice is to look at your text book and class notes for topics that interest you. Since you are being asked to read an article at least 10 pages long, it may as well interest you!
     
  • After you have completed one of the tutorials here, if you still have questions, please contact us in the library. We are happy to help with your research.
     
  • If you need help in getting access to the full text of an article, here is information about Interlibrary Loan (a service whereby the library might be able to get a copy of an article that is not full text in our databases.)
