Articles are much briefer than books, and appear in regularly published periodicals, including popular magazines and scholarly journals. Articles contain newer and/or more detailed information, especially on a narrower topic.
Most of our articles are in digital Databases, many of them specialized by subject area. Psychology is generally grouped with the Social Sciences., although its literature can extend into the Humanities and the Life Sciences. EBSCO's OmniFile full-text allows you to take a multi-disciplinary approach to locating articles on complex topics.
