APA Posts Thesaurus Update and 2005 Terms

Dear Colleagues,

The comprehensive update of 2005 changes to the Thesaurus of
Psychological Index Terms has been posted on the APA website,
http://www.apa.org/psycinfo/products/thesaurus_full_list.pdf.

This year's update includes more than 200 changes.  These changes
include new postable and nonpostable ("used for") terms, hierarchy
changes, terms status changes, scope note additions, and term deletions.
To ensure comprehensive search results, all new terms were mapped back
to PsycINFO records from the past 10 years.  New terms were mapped to
nearly 16,000 PsycINFO records.

If you have any questions regarding the Thesaurus or would like to
suggest terms to be included, please contact Lisa Gallagher Tuleya,
LTuleya@apa.org.

Cordially,

Susan Hillson
