MLA's User Experience (UX) Caucus has two new blog posts that I recommend checking out, especially if you happen to be a user of APA PsycInfo in the EBSCOhost interface:
- Controlled vocabular field codes and their discontents in EBSCOhost APA PsycInfo: This post discusses the frustrating limitations of controlled vocabulary field codes in EBSCOhost's APA PsycInfo (such as the fact that "there are zero field codes that search exclusively in the
Subjects field associated with the APA Thesaurus"!).
- Mismatched MeSH in EBSCOhost APA PsycInfo: This post explains and provides examples of how MeSH terms associated with records in EBSCOhost PsycInfo don't always match those in MEDLINE.
For those that celebrate, I hope everyone had a safe holiday last week! We received quite a bit of snow over in Madison, Wisconsin. While my husband and I weren't thrilled, our Irish wolfy, Hazel, took some enjoyment from the blizzard. Below is her sitting atop her throne.
Thanks for reading, and I hope everyone has a great week!
