- How to log-in to get to Library resources…
- Always use MyUniHub – MyStudy - MyLibrary
- Where you will find access to key library resources e.g. Library Search, Library guides, databases and e-journals Also a useful link to Referencing and Interlibrary loans
- What library resources can you use to find research material? Library Search is the Middlesex University catalogue/database Google Scholar is a freely accessible web search engine which indexes the full text of scholarly literature MDX has a wide range of general and specialised databases available to students. Especially useful to psychology students as it is such an interdisciplinary subject
- Sign in using your university email address
- Always remember to sign in to library search using your university email to access your library account, save your searches and access electronic resources like e-books and e-journal articles.
- This shows a search using the keywords psychology and beginners You can see that the search tells you if you are looking at a book or an article, if it is available online or in print. At the moment library search automatically looks for online material first.
- You can now see I have signed in to library search. You can also see on the left hand side of the screen that you can narrow your search, for example by date or resource type . Other things to notice on this screenshot are the pin symbol to save either the whole search or individual records. You can click on the quotation marks next to a record to get a reference using APA for this book or article. The folded page symbol allows you to save this item to RefWorks the bibliographic system supported by Middlesex.
- This shows a book record in more detail You can see it tells you it is a print title and it is available from the Hendon campus on the first floor at the shelf number 150MAR Underneath you can see the symbols I mentioned previously, the citation option, refworks as well as email and print options
- This shows an example of a citation or reference for the book we searched for. You can see it is showing the reference in the APA format for your assignment. Also notice that you are reminded to always check your references using Cite Them Right Online which I will mention later on
- There is more help available on using Library search in the psychology library guide.
- Have you used Google Scholar? Librarians often call it Good Google! You can use it to find articles books and other resources You can also link it to the Middlesex Library Search to see if Middlesex have full text electronic versions of articles Go to google scholar and click on the settings icon
- Click on Library Links
- Search for Middlesex University - Hendon in the search box Tick and click on save You only need to do this once on your laptop
- Based within the Sheppard Library at Hendon, we provide library materials, support and advice, to UK registered students who are unable to visit the campus on a regular basis or not at all. We aim to provide distance learners with a similar or equivalent service to students who are based on campus. The service provides library materials, support and advice
- There are lots of library guides written by librarians available to students covering subjects taught at Middlesex You can see here I have highlighted the one for Psychology
- And this one is for researchers
- This is the homepage for the Psychology library guide There is a lot of useful information in the guide covering resources, research support, how to use the library, databases and referencing help Please take some time to have a look and see what is available
- SCONUL Access is a reciprocal scheme which allows many university library users to borrow or use books and journals at other libraries which belong to the scheme. The scheme covers most of the university libraries in the UK and Ireland. Under review in November due to Covid Middlesex University now provides an Eduroam wireless service—this is a free wireless service that allows students and visitors access to the internet when visiting a participating organisation. Eduroam - is an international internet roaming service for users in research, higher education and further education. It provides researchers, teachers, and students easy and secure network access when visiting an institution other than their own. If you want access to the internet when visiting another organisation, you will need to connect to their eduroam network with your Middlesex University credentials. You only need to do this once—you will then connect automatically whenever you visit any participating eduroam organisation. Access is freely available to Senate House Library for Members of the British Psychological Society. If you have joined the BPS all you need to do is telephone their Records Office and they will provide you with an official letter to take to Senate House Library
- A few reminders about referencing You must always reference any ideas you use which are not your own to avoid plagiarism. It also allows anyone reading your work to locate the original material you used. Good use of referencing allows you to distinguish between your own ideas and opinions and those of others. To highlight and back-up relevant points by quoting, paraphrasing or summarising from the original text and to achieve a better mark or grade. Remember that your reference style is APA 7th edition
- Official referencing support tool Always check references Recommend that they read the basics section and the tutorials
- Here you can see an example of all the options to reference items just under the Books heading using the APA 7th edition referencing style
- DOI’s may need some explanation
- RefWorks is a web-based commercial reference software package. Users' reference databases are stored online, allowing them to be accessed and updated from any computer with an internet connection. Institutional licenses allow universities to subscribe to RefWorks on behalf of all their students. So create your Refworks account through Middlesex University Only RefWorks is supported by MDX – other systems are available e.g. Endnote and Mendeley
- Separate PPT presentation on Refworks as it has changed slightly
- BPS research digest blog MDX Psychology Blog Zetoc for Journal content alerts
- Provides access to the British Library’s electronic table of contents of around 20,000 current journals and around 16,000 conference proceedings. It includes an email alerting service to enable you to keep up to date with relevant new articles and papers.
