What is a database?
A database is a collection of information that has been organized so that it can be searched easily and effectively.
What is a library database?
A library database contains information from published works, such as magazine and newspaper articles, encyclopedias, and other reference books.
Why use library databases?
Library databases
  • contain high-quality information that has been evaluated for accuracy
  • are easy to search
  • provide citations
  • do not include ads because the library has paid for access
Remember: Google searches do NOT return results from any library databases. Learn more about databases vs. the open Web HERE.
​
DATABASES - Two of your sources should be database articles. The databases linked in green provide the citations you need for your bibliography. You can simply copy them.
