Collection Strengths
Materials are collected to support study and research from undergraduate through doctorate and
faculty levels. All phases of psychology are treated with no specific bias in favor of one school
of psychology or another. A balanced collection including applied as well as theoretical aspects
of basic psychological processes are acquired as well as specific fields of psychology: abnormal,
clinical, cognitive, developmental, environmental, personality, neuropsychology, industrial,
organizational, and social. Materials on human factors engineering, ergonomics, safety,
assessment, measurement and statistics, exceptional children, death and dying, sexual behavior and
gender roles, the psychology of religion, as well as materials supporting the psychological aspects of
other disciplines such as nursing and health care, engineering, education, business, theology and
philosophy are also collected. Raynor Memorial Libraries subscribe to more than 20,000
journals in digital format, including several journal 'families' from publishers relevant to psychology:
American Psychological Association, American Psychiatric Publishing, Inc, Sage Publishers, etc.
