Q. For BEHS 380, how do I find sources for my research project?

For your research project in BEHS 380, the instructions say that you should include:

• a source regarding your discipline of choice
• at least one resource from the class
• at least two scholarly sources
• at least one organizational source
• any additional relevant sources that you'd like to include

To find sources regarding your chosen discipline, see our subject guides.

To find scholarly sources, you can do a keyword search, based on your topic, in these and other relevant databases:

• APA PsycInfo (psychology)
• SocINDEX with Full Text (sociology)
• CINAHL Complete (nursing/medicine)

Note that these databases offer the option of limiting your search results to scholarly/peer-reviewed articles.

To find organizational sources, use search engines such as Google or Bing to search for web pages on your topic. Note that you can add site:.org to the end of your search in order to limit your results to just pages whose URLs end in .org -- for example, to find organizations' web pages that discuss euthanasia, you could search for:

euthanasia site:.org
