Use a combination of print and online resources for information about speech-language pathology. You cannot rely on one resource for all of your information needs.
In general, use DELCAT and WorldCat Local to identify print materials. Use Databases and Electronic Journals to identify online materials.
Google has its place, but in general it will not lead to the books and journal articles that you need for your research. Google Scholar may change that in the future, when remote “authentication” problems are worked out.

Communication & Mass Media Complete 
Narrow results using subjects on the left.
Linguistics and Language Behavior Abstracts
Mark “descriptors” of interest in a full record to do a more focused search. You can search in combination with PsycINFO.
PubMed
The premier database for clinical medicine.
Academic OneFile
Scholarly journals in many subject areas. Several important journals for speech-language pathology, A S H A Leader, Journal of Medical Speech-Language Pathology, Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing
Research, and Topics in Language Disorders, are included.
CINAHL Plus with Full Text
Use the MJ (Word in Major Subject Heading) index to search on speech-language pathology. Use “CINAHL Headings” to explore the “controlled vocabulary” for the CINAHL Plus with Full Text
database. You can search in combination with the ERIC [EBSCOHost] database.
Education Full Text
Despite the name of this database, not all articles are available full text.
ERIC [Cambridge Scientific Abstracts]
The Library subscribes to the ERIC database from three different vendors. Use this version to search in combination with PsycINFO, below, which also is an Cambridge Scientific Abstracts database. If you do so, be sure to modify your search: the ERIC database does not use the MJ index, but instead the DE (Descriptor) index.
ERIC [EBSCOHost]
The Library subscribes to the ERIC database from three different vendors. Use this version to search in combination with CINAHL Plus with Full Text, above, which also is an EBSCOHost database.
Health and Wellness Resource Center
Use as a source of ready-reference information, rather than for a search of the journal literature. (Example: klippel-feil syndrome)
“Medicine” (Credo Reference)
Includes:
The Cambridge Historical Dictionary of Disease,
Churchill Livingstone’s Dictionary of Nursing,
Dictionary of Medical Acronyms & Abbreviations,
Dorland’s Illustrated Medical Dictionary,

PsycARTICLES
44 journals published by the American Psychological Association (40 titles), Canadian Psychological Association (3 titles), and Hogrefe & Huber (1 title).
PsycINFO
Covers the published psychological literature. Be sure to explore the “thesaurus.”
Science Direct
Large collection of electronic journals, many of them STM (science, technology, and medicine).
Web of Science
Has “cited reference” searching functionality. (Example: articles that cite M. Appelbaum and E. Bates, “Quantifying dissociations in aphasis,” Brain and Language 69 (3): 313-316 Oct. 1, 1999)
These are some major journals. As a matter of general principle, it is better to search for information in databases rather than in specific journals.
Journals may be available in print only, online only, or print/online; or full text may be available in a database without that fact being captured in a DELCAT record.
You may obtain copies of articles not held by the Library or accessible in a database to which the Library subscribes via interlibrary loan.
