How do I find information on a specific theory?

The SAGE Knowledge database is a good place to start if you know the name of a theory and want to find more information. 

1. From the Walden Library's homepage, click on Databases A-Z.
2. In the drop-down choices at the top, click on All Database Types.
   
   
    
3. Click on Encyclopedias and Dictionaries.
4. Click on SAGE Knowledge.
5. In the search box type the name of the theory. For example: 
   
   Social Learning Theory
   
   Note: You may be prompted for your username and password. This is the same as what you use in your myWalden portal.
    
6. Click the magnifying glass to run the search.
7. In the results list, click on the title you want to view. 

The entry will have an overview of the theory. If you scroll down you may see the original works cited. Sometimes there might be links below the citations that will take you to the article if we have it in our Library.
