Special issue: Group counseling with multicultural populations. pp. 229-234.

In this case, we can see that we are looking at a citation for an article in a journal called Journal for Specialists in Group Work.

The last 2 lines of the article information say:

  • "Notes:  For book titles check the LCSC Library catalog for availability.Every record in PsycINFO has this message.  A lot of PsycINFO records cover book chapters or conference proceedings, which are obviously not journal literature.  This message just reminds searchers to look at the record carefully.  If it is describing a book, they should search the catalog.

  • "For a copy of the article check the LCSC Journal List."  This message shows up for articles that are not provided full-text in the database.  If you are not familiar with the LCSC Journal List, you can find a tutorial in Module 1D.
