Searching in the PsycINFO database is very similar to searching in the Medline database, as they are both in the Ovid platform.
PsycINFO is a database of journal and other citations with some full-text available, covering the psychological and social behavioral aspects of health sciences. It is produced by the American Psychological Association and is very useful in nursing studies. It is primarily an index, but does contain some full-text links. And of course you can also use the Find it @ CSU links to find the full text in one of our other databases.
For more information, see the APA's PsycINFO factsheet and you can access this database from our A-Z Databases: P page.
The database opens to the Advanced Search screen, the default is to search by Keyword, but this field can be changed to search by Author, Title or Journal. Like Medline, you can also check the Map Term to Subject Heading box to search more thoroughly.
