PsycCRITIQUES Database Now Available on FirstSearch

We are very pleased to announce that OCLC will offer PsycCRITIQUES, a database of full-text reviews of current books, some popular films, videos, and software, as well as comparative reviews of books.

It replaces the APA print journal Contemporary Psychology: APA Review of Books as of January 2005. Weekly releases of approximately 15-20 reviews that include current year copyright book reviews will be added to the database.

PsycCRITIQUES also includes a backfile of more than 5,000 Contemporary Psychology reviews from 1995–2004.  The new database joins (in July) APA’s family of research databases on FirstSearch:  PsycINFO, PsycARTICLES, PsycBOOKS, and PsycFIRST.
