American Psychological Association’s Journals Online

Interlibrary Loan statistics over the last few years have indicated a need for the American Psychological Association’s journals. In addition, during the last 2 periods of journal cuts the Library cancelled several of the American Psychological Association journals because these print-only journals were not heavily used. Several faculty members objected to these cuts, but the Library could not afford, at that time, to buy APA’s PsycARTICLES that would provide online access. Now, thanks to Dr. Wilson’s increase in the Library’s budget, the UAMS Library has purchased PsycARTICLES, a full text database of all 44 journals published by the American Psychological Association and 8 journals from allied organizations.

We anticipate that having online full text access to these journals will widen and increase their use by faculty and students alike and decrease the need for interlibrary loans.

The following are some of the journals included in PsycARTICLES.
Developmental Psychology
Health Psychology
Journal of Applied Psychology
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology
Journal of Educational Psychology
Neuropsychology
Professional Psychology
Psychological Assessment
Psychological Bulletin
Psychological Methods
Psychology and Aging
Psychology of Addictive Behavior
