Having problems with narrowing your search? You may want to try using subject terms when searching for a psychology article. See the video below for tips on using them.
A subject term is a standardized word or phrase that describes a main idea in the article.
When an article is added to a database, the database will assign subject terms to it from the database's list of subjects. Most articles will have from 3 to 12 subject terms.
Each database has its own list of subject terms. They often use technical jargon and odd punctuation, so you won't be able to come up with the subject terms on your own. You will have to identify the subject terms within an initial search, and then use them in a subject terms search.

Off-campus access is available with your library card number found on the back of your student ID card. When prompted for this number be sure to use a capital D and your digits with no spaces in between, for example D8692xxxxx.
If you are in need of a student ID card come to the LRC/Library, (2nd floor, Centers building), and ask at the main desk.
