PsycNet offers topical and timely material on current events related to psychology. Fortunately, the site is searchable by keyword - a very useful feature in a site so large. The American Psychological Society maintains a Web site housed at Hanover College, which includes links to databases for research funding, electronic journals, lists of discussion groups, and a software archive. The society was founded in 1988 and is dedicated to the advancement of psychological science and the giving away of psychology in the public interest. This well-designed Web site offers information on careers, book releases, government regulations, and CPA documents and links to journal articles.
Material is presented in both English and French.
You can enter up to 24 school names at a time and the search engine will return the average salary at each for instructors through full professors. There is also a link to the list of institutions included in the database. The database goes as far back as 1994-95 and searches for disparity between male and female salaries. Data such as these can be used for research projects or class exercises. The Chronicle's list is updated weekly, while the APA's is done monthly.
