ProQuest Research Library 

ProQuest Research Library, like Academic Search Premier, is a general academic database.  However, it is very strong in the social sciences and a must-use database for research in the social sciences.  The same searching principles apply, though the layout is a bit different.  You can access ProQuest by linking out from a search in Discover! (see above), from the A-Z List on the library home page, or by clicking here.

DSM-5

The DSM-5 is your first stop for information about psychological conditions.

Select DSM-5 from the menu.  

On the next screen, click on the blue arrow next to Section II: Diagnostic Criteria and Codes and select the condition your are researching.
