Psychology

Customs, Rites, & Rituals Across Cultures


First, use our Resource Guide to locate books and other resources already in the library

 

Next, search for books on your own using the following method. Go to the catalog

 

Catalog

Search for

"rites and ceremonies"

 

To your search, add another term that describes the particular lifespan event you are researching (for example: birth, marriage, death)

Your final search may look like: "rites and ceremonies" and birth

Click Subject

 

Next, find articles in one of our full-text article databases, for example JSTOR

 

JSTOR only allows keyword searching, not subject searching, so choose your words carefully. Spelling counts!

 

If your paper is on the comparison of birth rituals between Chinese and Mexican societies, your search may be:

(birth OR childbirth) cultural (China OR Mexic*)

including the parentheses.

As with any search process, you will probably need to revise or refine your search terms depending on the results you get.
