Depending on what article type your assignment requires, there are a few ways to find articles on this topic. Our Discovery Catalog searches through a lot of our databases all at once and is found on our library homepage (big main search bar). It can be a good place to start to cast a wide net to see what is available. It will even find items the library doesn't own, but can possibly get via interlibrary loan (ILL) – though you can limit those results out after doing a search to items just held by the TCC Library. ILL is a free service for TCC students and employees. Here is an FAQ that teaches you how to use the catalog.

After doing a search in Discovery, you can limit to the source type you are needing (articles, books, video, etc.) on the left side and even to specific dates. If searching for a peer-reviewed article, you can even limit to that! 

For a list of all of our databases, some of which Discovery will search through automatically, see the "Articles & Databases" link off the library website.  

  • Recommended step if using this route: Click on the  All Subjects drop-down menu.
  • Subject categories include Nursing, Allied Health, and Health Sciences and Psychology. Examples of article databases for this topic would include Health Source: Nursing/Academic Edition (EBSCOhost) or PsycARTICLES (ProQuest). 
  • The databases can be searched with the keywords "cardiac disease and depression" or other variations in your search string (here's some tips). 
  • Optional:
    To filter your results, try limiting your results to "full text" or changing the date range.
    You can also limit your results to scholarly articles.
