September 8, 1994: Vol26n2: Electronic Highways: Get Psyched

Students and researchers can now use BISON (the University at
Buffalo's Libraries on-line catalog) to search PsycInfo, the
computerized equivalent of Psychological Abstracts. Just type INDX at
BISON's Database Selection Menu and then type PSYC or PSYO depending
on whether you want 1991+ coverage or 1967-1990 coverage respectively.
	PsycInfo indexes over 1,300 international journals in the
fields of psychology and psychiatry and provides citations and
abstracts for articles on a wide range of subject areas including
among others: communication, education, gerontology, linguistics,
literature, marketing, organizational theory, personnel management,
pharmacology, and social work. Of course, all aspects of psychology
and psychiatry are given extensive coverage.
	By using keyword features specified in Making the BISON
Connection: PSYC and PSYO Searches, PsycInfo users can fine-tune their
search results. For example, searches can be limited to a specific
year, journal title, or language. Searches can also be limited to a
number of publication types such as: conference proceedings,
government reports, literature reviews, and translations. One can even
restrict search results to specific treatment types such as behavior
therapy, group and family therapy or drug therapy.
	And, of course, the fact that PsycInfo is now a BISON database
means that you can search it not only at BISON terminals, but for
those with valid University at Buffalo IDs, PsycInfo is available via
BISON REMOTE from your home or office most hours of the day or night!
