New Additions to PsycBooks!
For anyone unfamiliar with PsycBooks, it it perhaps the most user-friendly and well-designed e-book database that currently exists! It's on the (beloved!) Ebsco platform, so it's incredibly easy to navigate. Books (2,037 of them, to date) are searchable by title, and by their individual chapters -- and each book chapter is a PDF that can be printed or emailed. (Nice, right?) If you are a psychology student, this is definitely a database to keep in mind.
The subject matter of all of these books is psychology. For the most part, the titles in PsycBooks are published by APA, and almost any area of psychology, in which APA publishes books could be found here. (Unfortunately, the APA Publication Manual is NOT included.). This database contains some classic / landmark psychology titles (read: old), as well as newer APA books. It's worth noting that PsycBooks includes The APA/Oxford University Press Encyclopedia of Psychology, which gives a nice overview to many psychology topics.
