Q. I need an article on chemistry. Where do I go?

You can find articles on chemistry from magazines or journals or newspapers in the Discovery catalog search on the library homepage or in article databases on the Articles & Databases link off the library's website.

The Discovery catalog searches through a lot of our databases all at once, so you won't have to choose just one database! It will even show you articles we might not have, but can get via interlibrary loan. Just search for your topic in the large search bar. Or, see this FAQ on how to do a catalog search at TCC.

• Catalog search result for recent articles: chemistry "processed foods" 
• As previous, but: chemistry formulas  
• As previous, but: cow milk testing chemistry 
• As previous, but: "plant-based meat" biochemistry 
• As pervious, but: "industrial chemistry" 

You can see the keywords and phrase searching used in the examples linked above. You can also plug in or swap words to change up the searches. 

But, if you decide to, we recommend you try the following databases that are sure to include chemistry journals:

• ScienceDirect (Elsevier)
• Science in Context (Gale)
