The American Psychological Association (APA) recently entered into an agreement to deliver APA online resources to member sites of the Virtual Library of Virginia (VIVA). This new agreement expands access to a wealth of trade and scholarly psychology literature previously unavailable to VIVA institutions. It also includes access options for various combinations of databases from APA's full suite of premier resources for the behavioral sciences - PsycINFO, PsycARTICLES, PsycBOOKS, PsycCRITIQUES, and PsycEXTRA - all delivered on the APA PsycNET search platform.
In addition to these core databases, VIVA member institutions may also choose to purchase sets of eBooks from APA Books E-Collections. These full-text collections of APA book titles grouped by copyright year are also available on the APA PsycNET platform.
Since the signing of the agreement between APA and VIVA, APA has been facilitating the transition of VIVA member institutions to the APA PsycNET platform by hosting customised training sessions for the participating institutions' librarians. Ongoing support for both librarians and end-users will continue throughout the subscription period, enabling users to get the most out of the databases and the APA PsycNET platform.
