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.
