Keeping Up with New Psychology Books (and Films) : PsycCritiques

To get to it, go to the Access Online Databases page and log in. Click on the Ebsco Host link and select PsycCritiques from the database list.
QUICK TIP: If you would like to view only film reviews, try putting the word film in the search box as an All Fields search.

What is A to Z (List of Full Text Journal Titles)?

You find the perfect article citation and aren't sure whether ITP owns the journal. If you find it in an ITP database, you may be able to link to Full Text or Page Image and get the entire article immediately. If not, the A to Z list of Full Text Journal Titles is the place where you can check our holdings, both electronic and print.
The A to Z List is located in the Online Database Gateway. Once you link to the List type in the journal title in the search box at the right. The titles in your results list should each have one or more listing of holdings (we own some journals in print and in electronic form). If there are electronic holdings, you should be able to link directly to it from A to Z.

You may have searched ProQuest for psychology articles or dissertations but now we have added more databases to the same interface:

Religion: Collection of about 100 journals covering religious issues and perspectives.

Research Library: Includes about 3,500 journals in arts, business, children, education, general interest, health, humanities, international, law, military, multicultural, psychology, sciences, social sciences, and women's interests.

Both of these new databases have a high ratio of full text. To get there, just go to the Online Database Gateway and log in as usual. Click on the ProQuest link and log in. You will automatically be searching all the databases: Psychology, Religion, Dissertations and Theses and Research library.
