Project Ideas
American Psychological Association: a searchable site
with the latest information on every conceivable psychology topic, from mental disorders
(e.g. Alzheimer's, schizophrenia, ADHD) to learning and memory to social behavior.
Science Daily: a great source for the latest
in science news, from chemistry to biology to engineering to medicine.
National Public Radio:
a searchable site with radio programs that cover just about every conceivable topic,
from political issues to educational controversies to the latest in science news.
Project Sources
Google Scholar: though still in developmental stages, this site works
just like Google but restricts its search to books and journals.
University of Florida Libraries main page: this site is where you can
search databases (which one you search depends on your topic), locate
books and journals in the UF system, and in many cases pull up journal
articles online and print them out (much better than standing at a
photocopier for 20 minutes).
Alachua County Library: Sometimes, local
branches of the public library will have stuff (e.g., books, videotapes,
and newspapers) that the big university library doesn't.
Discovery Network: From the people who bring you Animal Planet, Discovery Health Channel, and other cable TV offerings,
this searchable site might help you locate TV programs relevant to your
topic. (This site is reputable, but it is a commercial site that
sometimes annoys us with pop-up ads. It's a good idea to have a pop-up
blocker installed as part of your browser.)
History Channel A searchable site whose
content is, well, self-explanatory.
Public Broadcasting System Not just home to Sesame
Street, this searchable site has great online information on a wide
variety of topics, as well as TV listings for our local PBS station. PBS
TV shows cover just about every topic.
University of Florida main page: see the search window in the upper right
and type in your topic (e.g., forensic medicine).
Santa Fe Community College main page.
APA (American Psychological Association) Style: This style of citing
references in the body of your research paper and in the references page at the end of your paper is one that you are very likely to see in college. (There are others, such as Chicago and MLA style, but we are
asking you to stick with APA.)
