Depending on the source types your assignment requires, the following outlines some routes to discover sources for this area of research.
Our Discovery Catalog searches through a lot of our databases all at once and is found on our library homepage. 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 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.) and even to specific dates. If searching for a peer-reviewed article, you can even limit to that!
A keyword search "genetics and alcoholism" in the TCC Library catalog turns up a few titles. West Campus Library has a print book, Alcoholism Sourcebook, which may prove helpful. See the link to the book.
Also, you can try searching thelibrary catalog for the subjects of "alcoholism" and "alcoholism-treatment"--some books on these broader terms may yield specific information about genetic influences on alcoholism.
For tips on how to search in our databases and catalog, we recommend this FAQ.
using some keyword combinations such as "alcoholism and genetics"; or "genetic factors;"
once you get a list of results, take a look at the listed subject headings for additional precise search terms you can try.
Academic Search Premier allows you to limit your results to full-text articles only and/or source of articles, such as scholarly (peer reviewed) journals only.
