Hi Sandy
Can your library at the University help you - e.g. by assisting with
an "Athens account" - this will
let you access materials/journals that the university has access to.
Or having some 1-2-1 time with a
librarian to orientate you to the facilities that will be available
to you on account of your course? They are usually very helpful.
Good luck with your course - what about looking at the Becks
assessment tool for depression?
Best wishes
