E x p a n d your Psychological Boundaries with
John Breitmeyer, Reference Librarian
PsycEXTRA, a "gray" literature database, is a companion to the scholarly PsycINFO database.
It supplies clinicians, information professionals, policy-makers, researchers, and consumers
with a wide variety of credible information in psychology, behavioral science, and health.
Most of the coverage is material written for professionals and disseminated outside of
peer-reviewed journals. Documents include newsletters, magazines, newspapers, technical
and annual reports, government reports, consumer brochures, and more.
PsycEXTRA includes abstracts and citations plus full text for
a major portion of the records. There is no coverage overlap with
PsycINFO, and thus it is a perfect companion database. Users of
these databases at LNDL will find their options increased and
horizons broadened.
