APA has renamed their collections of databases so that APA is now part of the name. They have also decided to stop putting “INFO” and “ARTICLES” in all caps:
- PsycINFO –> APA PsycInfo
- PsycARTICLES –> APA PsycArticles
I’ve relabeled the old database links as “APA PsycArticles” and “APA PsycInfo” and moved them from the “O-P” tab on the main databases page to the “A-B” tab. Any research guides that featured links to these databases will now see the new names displayed.
For the benefit of those who will need to learn the new names, I’ve added temporary database links on the “O-P” tab of the A-Z database page with the following links:
- “PsycINFO (now called APA PsycInfo)”
- “PsycARTICLES (now called APA PsycArticles)”
These temporary links that indicate a name change will be removed by the end of the year. This summer, I’m planning to update my video tutorials on how to use APA PsycInfo so that the new name is used. Please update your research guides as needed (NB: the database links themselves on your guides have already been updated).
