New e-journal – Annual Review of Developmental Psychology

The Library now subscribes to the Annual Review of Developmental Psychology.

The Annual Review of Developmental Psychology covers the significant advances in the developmental sciences, including cognitive, linguistic, social, cultural, and biological processes across the lifespan. The invited reviews will synthesize the theoretical, methodological, and technological developments made over the past several decades that have led to important new discoveries relevant beyond psychology, including education, cognitive science, economics, public health, and public policy.

Access this journal via DiscoverEd or our e-journals AZ list.
