Psychology Research Guide: Home

Have you found the perfect article but don't know if we subscribe to it? Here are some steps you can take.

1. We may have access to the journal in another database. In Library Central, you'll find the Journals A-Z List. From here, you can check a search by journal name and retrieve a comprehensive list of databases in which our journals appear.

2. Try searching for the title of the article in Google Scholar. Any research that makes use of taxpayer funding must be eventually released to the public--you might find an openly available copy of your article.

3. Using Interlibrary Loan, the library can ask other libraries that subscribe to the journal to send an electronic copy of the article you want. Set up a free user account with your SAU network login to request articles and books. Interlibrary Loan is a service offered to SAU students, faculty & staff only.

The Librarian is available for individual help as well, as needed, by appointment or drop by the library reference desk.

These peer-reviewed journal articles are not free from a Google Search, SAU subscribes to them through ProQuest Central:
It is articles like these your professors want you to use in papers and projects.

• Try using the advanced search in Library Central and limiting to SUBJECT on the left drop down menu.
