Off The Shelf

In 2013, the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders is set to be released.  This will be the first new edition of the DSM in more than a decade.

Over the last several years, professionals and advocacy groups have argued about the implications of many current DSM diagnoses, as well as what new entries and changes to the DSM will mean to the patients who are treated and the professionals who treat them.

As Dr. Michael First of Columbia University states in this NY Times article, a big concern is the more entries and diagnoses you add to the DSM, the more people are labeled and stigmatized.  What are your thoughts? 

View the full article at http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/10/health/10psych.html?hp

Feel free to visit the DSM 5th edition site at DSM5.org where you can view proposed revisions and create an account to submit your own comments about these revisions.

Recently we turned off the default full-text limiter in our PsycINFO database.  But don’t worry – you can still find full-text articles in PsycINFO!  Here’s the scoop…

The PsycINFO database is an index of millions of article abstracts and citations.  It actually does not contain any full-text articles of its own.  Any full-text articles you find when searching in PsycINFO are pulled from cross-over with the other EBSCO database (PsycARTICLES, SocINDEX, etc). We used to have the full-text limit turned on as a default when you opened PsycINFO, but we recently turned it off to allow for an expanded search because we weren’t fully utilizing the database and all the articles you could find with it. 

While you will still see full-text articles (HTML and PDF full-text links) in your PsycINFO articles results, you will also see many more articles that say “Check Article Linker.”  Click “Check Article Linker” and the database will automatically run a search across all the other library databases to see if we have that article indexed full-text elsewhere (many we do!!).  You will then get a pop-up window with a link directly to that full-text article in another database (if it is available). 

If the article is not available you will see a “Sorry” message and a link that will take you to our Interlibrary Loan Request Form.  You can then submit an Interlibrary Loan request for the article and we will request it for you from another library.  Articles will be emailed to you in 3-5 business days.

If you have any questions regarding PsycINFO or the Check Article Linker Link, please feel free to call or email us in the library.

If you have a specific title in mind, you can always check Journal and Book Locator and search for that title.  But did you know that you can also run a search to find all the journals in the library that have certain keywords in their titles?  For instance, if you want to see if we have journals about sports psychology, you can run the following search:

Journal and Book Locator search

(sport* will search for any word that starts with the word sport: sport, sports, sporting, etc.)

 You will get the following four results.  Note that two of them are not located in databases that you can find on the Articles, Books and More page:

Journal and Book Locator Results

This brings me to another method you can use to find articles from our stand alone journals:  Search databases with the Full Text box unchecked.  Most databases actually index more journals than they include full text.  By searching with the full text feature off, you will get additional results.  In fact, if you’re a doctoral learner working on your dissertation, we recommend that you always search the databases with the full text limiter turned off to make sure that you are conducting a thorough search of the literature.

When you run a search without limiting to full text, you will then naturally get some results that will not have a full text link.  Instead, some of the results will say Check Article Linker or Linked Full Text (Ebsco databases) or Link to full text (ProQuest).  Simply click on the link to see if the article is available in either another database or from one of our stand alone journals.

To continue with our sports psychology theme, you would pick an appropriate database for your topic, in this case PsycINFO, and then run a search such as the one below, making sure to uncheck the full text limiter:

PsyINFO database search

Now, even though PsycINFO doesn’t include the full text for the Journal of Applied Sport Psychology, we can pull up results for it (and other stand alone journals) because PsycINFO does index it.  Simply click on the link to get to the full text:

PsycINFO search results

As always, if you have questions about article searching, Ask a Librarian!
