FSU Libraries' Guide to Psychology Resources

Ted Chaffin and I would like to introduce ourselves as the library liaisons for the Psychology Department. 

*If you are a Faculty member, we can:

• locate and request psychology library resources. 
  
• visit your class to teach effective library research skills and services.
• provide tours and in-library workshops to your students.

*If you are a Student, we can:

•  offer one-on-one consultation sessions to help you with your psychology assignments
• demonstrate how to locate resources (journal articles, tests, etc.)
  
• direct you to other services such as RefWorks to help you manage your APA citations.
  

Have a great Spring 2013!

UBorrow is a new service offered to you thorughout the State of Florida (click here)
