What do people think about libraries? "I read," I say. "I study and read. I bet I've read everything you read. Don't think I haven't. I consume libraries. I wear out spines and ROM-drives. I do things like get in a taxi and say, "The library, and step on it." – David Foster Wallace “I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.” ‑‑ Jorge Luis Borges “We are the cornerstone of democracy. We are the community commons.” – Deborah Jacobs, Seattle city librarian “Libraries are brothels for the mind” -- Guy Browning in The Guardian “Librarians are the secret masters of the world. They control information. Don't ever piss one off.” ‑‑ Spider Robinson

Research as Conversation Where does this conversation happen? o In person o Encyclopedias o Summarize knowledge on a given topic. o Provide context. o Books o Broader in scope than articles. o Good for wider conversation on a particular topic. o Journal and journal articles o Key avenue for conversation in psychology.

Bit more about journals… Type of periodical… magazines and newspapers are also periodicals. Main purpose is to publish articles that present new research in a particular area and provide a forum for critique. Different than magazines & newspapers: Scholarly | Peer- reviewed

How do I find Books & Journals at York? Library catalogue Browse if you know the title Keyword search if you have a topic Find a book for: What is the effect of violence in the media on children? Find a journal broadly dealing with personality psychology.

Finding articles on a specific topic… Use a periodical index (e.g. PsycInfo) What is this? A database for finding articles. How do I find them? Subject Research Guides
