We are delighted to announce that RGU students and staff now have access to the PsycARTICLES database.

PsycARTICLES contains over 160,000 full-text, peer-reviewed scholarly and scientific articles from over 80 psychology journals from the American Psychological Association (APA) and allied organizations.

Access to the database is available from the subject list of databases (choose social studies and social work) and the A-Z list of databases.  Simply click on PsycARTICLES and login with your usual RGU details to begin your search.

WHEN DO I NEED AN ELECTRONIC REFERENCE FOR A BOOK OR A JOURNAL ARTICLE?

We provide a large number of books and journal articles to you in electronic format, but you do not give an online reference if you could have read the book or the article in hard copy, ie if it is available in paper.

The examples of references in CampusMoodle give sample templates for online books and articles, but these are to be used only where the book or the article is ONLY available online.

If in doubt contact the Library Service’s Client Services team at libclient@rgu.ac.uk.

And remember, if you’ve got a referencing problem that you would like The Referee to help you with, just add a comment to this post.

Access to the Jisc SHEDL Berg titles via Ingenta has now been restored by the publisher.  Please accept our apoligies for any inconvenienc this has caused.

We would appear to have lost access to 18 titles via the SHEDL Berg deal from Ingenta and have been in touch with the company about the problem.  Some of these titles are available via other suppliers so please check if you can also access the title from a supplier other than Ingenta and use this meanwhile.  We hope to have this rectified as soon as possible and apologise for the inconvenience.
