How do I use ProQuest to find Psychology articles on the global effect of the Covid-19 pandemic?
Answer
Sign into the Touro portal, go to databases, and filter on the top of the page to the subject area PSYCHOLOGY.
Your results contain databases best for Psychology. Select One. (example: Psychology Database (ProQuest).
Use keywords in your search- not long phrases or questions like in a Google search. An "Advanced Search" gives you several search bars. Use terms like "Covid-19" or "Coronavirus" or "Pandemic," and in the next box terms like "society" or "social interaction". This gives you results using the terms you selected.
On the left side, you will also see filters to further refine your results. You may want to select peer-reviewed/scholarly sources, eliminating newspapers, magazines,and government reports.
The "Full-Text" filter will only give you results to which Touro has access to the full article.
