Searching the Literature Video Series

This guide provides videos on how to search a range of Library databases.

This tutorial produced by APA Publishing Training (2022), demonstrates how (and why) to use the thesaurus tool to find index terms or subject headings when searching PsycINFO on ProQuest.

"By the end of this video you will be able to:

  • Locate Index Terms using the APA Thesaurus and use them to conduct a search in APA PsycInfo
  • Revise a search in APA PsycInfo to include additional Index Terms
  • Describe how to search in APA PsycInfo when there is no Index Term for a particular search concept"
