To find your empirical articles use the following databases:
Remember to use several databases and use synonyms
for your topic!
Off-Campus Access Information - see left menu
General searching advice. Remember to use the
online thesaurus if available. Otherwise use synonyms
for your topic. HINT: try using the keyword
"empirical" and your topic. Also try the keyword
"research" and your topic.
Use the online thesaurus for better results. Not all
databases have a thesaurus.
Some hints searching the ERIC and PsycINFO databases
Using the ERIC database:
Remember: ERIC includes articles (EJ) and ERIC documents
(ED). Use the "Find It! " feature to see
if Xavier has the ERIC journals. Some of the ED documents from
1993-present are available full-text.
Pre 1993 ERIC documents (ED) are available on microfiche
in the library..
You can limit just to journal articles.. This
is listed under the search box.
Using the PsycINFO database:
Hint: Use the code 2260 (Research methods and
experimental design)
Example: group-dynamics and 2260.cc.
Finding articles from the database
searches:
Be sure to use the "Find It! " feature
in most of the databases to check to see if Xavier has
the journal. Be sure to look to see if it is available
full-text above where is says "Xavier University
has".
If it isn't full-text using "Find It!", then use  (Electronic Journal Locator & more!) and type the name of the journal in the search box.
