Welcome to all you science – practitioner psychologists and teachers of High School Psychology. This webpage was developed by the SA Branch of the APS in response to membership requests to the Communications Officer. You are welcome to send further development suggestions and feedback.

Walk in access to many electronic databases (including PsycINFO), and a wide range of electronic journals in psychology, is available at the Barr Smith Library at the University of Adelaide. Bring in a USB to download articles, and save the cost of printing!
