Scholarly periodical databases give a researcher access to articles on specific subjects that have appeared in variety of periodicals. Such databases may cover a broad area of study the way Social Sciences Abstracts does. Others, such as PsycInfo, focus more sharply. Most journal articles listed are written by scholars and aimed at other researchers in that field, making them particularly important research sources. Searching a database will give the researcher the bibliographic citation needed to identify and locate a specific work on a topic: author, title of article, journal title, volume and issue number, date, and pages. An abstract briefly summarizes an article's contents.
Some online databases--JSTOR, ProQuest Direct, and Project Muse--include the full text of at least some of the articles online. Databases are accessible via the Library's Electronic Resources Page.
Relevant online databases for research on Freud include:
- Web of Science
- EBSCOhost -- includes full-text online retrieval for some articles
- PsycInfo
OCLC FirstSearch Databases:
- ArticleFirst
- Biography Index
- Social Science Abstracts
- WorldCat - books and other library materials
