For students needing journal articles >>

The best source for Psychology is PsycINFO, a bibliographic database of articles on
Psychology and related disciplines. We have the Psychology module in Oxford
Bibliographies Online, which is useful for an introduction to journal articles (and related
resources) in specialist fields. Oxford Handbooks Online for Psychology will also be
helpful for introductory essays/articles on a range of topics.

MEDLINE may also be useful for its content on mental health and behavioural sciences.
It may also be worth referring to other databases relating to Health depending on the
topic. There are available via the Health Sciences subject guide:
http://subjectguides.york.ac.uk/healthsciences.
