Psychology

The Assignment Calculator is at U of Minnesota Libraries.

A grad student from U of Minnesota provides a free downloadable APA Style Sheet for MS Word for many versions of Word. Please note the librarians have not tested this software, so user beware! A different APA Style Sheet is available for Word 97, 98 and 2000.

The reference sources: Child Development, The Encyclopedia of Drugs, Alcohol and Addictive Behavior, The International Encyclopedia of Marriage and the Family, Gale Encyclopedia of Medicine, and Psychologists and Their Theories are available online in the Gale Virtual Reference Center (under "Reference, Facts, Encyclopedias, etc. on the Library's Homepage).

Check iBistro (the Library's book, video, DVD, etc. catalog) and PsycBooks for e-books on psychology and related topics.

For articles on psychology related topics use the principal database for psychology research, PsycInfo, on the Library's Homepage under "Magazine, newspaper and journal articles".

For any articles or books not available at MCC Library, use the Interlibrary Loan request forms. MCC Library will have the materials delivered here for you to use.
