You need to research a topic related to a particular period of psychiatric history or a particular psychaitric practice, related to gender. You need to cite sources in the research essay, and this guide will help you locate appropriate sources.
This guide represents all resources available through Fogler Library at the end of the spring semester. By the end of June, Fogler Library will be implementing a new Library Search system (replacing the URSUS Catalog) and a new home web page. This will affect some links on this page, and I will update them as I can. But I do expect some disruption. Please get in touch with any questions - lewis@maine.edu
Here are a couple of titles I found:
And here are some subject searches in the URSUS Catalog you can browse:
There are a number of places to search for scholarly journal articles, and your topic will influence what tool you use. Here some library databases that might be helpful. In each, you have the option to choose Advanced Search, which allows you to combine topics in your search (i.e. maternity NOT United States)
Google Scholar may also be a possibility, but use it very carefully. We lose the ability to have edited, verified collections with this product. To get the most full text, go to the Menu bar in the upper left, click on Settings, then click on Library Links. Choose University of Maine - Full Text.
You may want to also use other kinds of information sources, to supplement your scholarly sources. Searching Google makes sense, but be careful about verifying what you find. Make sure to find out who created the information, and for what purpose, before you use it.
Below find links to search verified sources for news, statistics, and documentaries.
Many articles will be available in the databases with files you can download. However, sometimes you will need to click a link that says "LInk to external site" or "Check 360 link for full text."
This process will check Fogler Library's subscriptions for access to the article.
If we do not have access, you can then use our free Interlibrary Loan service to request the article. Generally, you will see a link that will take you to the ILLiad service, but you can also access it here.
The first time you use the ILLiad service you will need to create your free account. It generally takes one business day to receive the article.
You will need to have formal citations for your sources. The library tools listed here will have ways to grab citations in your format of choice, but they are not always 100% correct. To double check, or to format sources you find other ways, go to Citation Help to find the correct citation formats.
