A SELECTIVE GUIDE TO PSYCHOLOGICAL RESOURCES
This selective guide contains a bibliography of titles and electronic resources that will assist the students in locating materials concerning general psychology. It outlines a general approach to finding materials and resources housed in the F.D. Bluford Library and also electronic sources that may be on the Internet or on CD-Roms. This guide will help students organize their research and at the same time give them some tips on research strategy. Remember that researching any topic can seem overwhelming.
Using the INNOPAC
Establishing what resources the library owns on the subject you are researching should be your first priority. In order to find that information the student must use the online catalog called the INNOPAC in our library. The INNOPAC can be search by AUTHOR, TITLE, KEYWORD, JOURNAL TITLE and by SUBJECT HEADING. If you are going to do a keyword search you can either enter a word that may appear in the title or in the description of the work. If you are going to do a subject search you should use the Library of Congress Subject Headings located next to the computer workstations to help you determine the correct heading to use. There are several other options on narrowing or limiting your search and on identifying similar titles. Please refer to the INNOPAC Handout at the Information Center for more detailed instruction or ask for assistance from a Reference Librarian.
Encyclopedias
Encyclopedias are also a good place to start, especially if you are unfamiliar with the topic. Articles in encyclopedias are often written by recognized authorities and tend to provide established facts and ideas about the topic, its history, basic theories, and important persons who have written related articles. Also, most encyclopedia articles close with a bibliography that may help you to establish your literature search.
Note: When using encyclopedias, first consult the index volume, usually the last volume of the set. This will tell you if your topic has an article devoted entirely to it or if it is discussed within an article on a related subject.

Handbooks and Dictionaries
Handbooks and dictionaries can help you throughout your research by providing quick, factual information that you may need to support your ideas. The coverage in handbooks is generally limited to a specific area of information (such as political parties, governmental institutions, or cities of the United States), giving brief overviews with statistical data. This information is usually more current than that in an encyclopedia. Dictionaries provide brief entries that are quick and helpful sources for the definition or identification of a term, movement, or person in psychology.
