Find Articles in Databases
You will links to full-text or abstracted articles in the selected databases. These are the key databases that are often discussed in Counseling research classes and by other students.
- Discover This link opens in a new window
Blume Library's primary search tool. This robust feature helps scholars find scholarly journals and articles, books, eBooks, music, videos, government information, and more. Input the keywords of your research to generate a results list full of articles and items covering the topic. Use boolean phrases (AND, OR, NOT) and other limiters to focus a search or modify a results list. This tool searches most of the Blume Library holdings including the Library Catalog of physical items and eResources.

Google Scholar
You may also want to search Google Scholar. I often use Google Scholar to find more recent work that cites an article or book I found in PsycINFO or Discover (cited by).
Be aware that you will not be able to limit your Google Scholar results to the level you can with PsycINFO.
