What are Databases?

Databases are powerful online reference systems accessible via the Internet.  Databases offer basic and advanced searching supported by Boolean logic (and, or, not) natural language, enhanced subject indexing and journal searching. With links from the full record display to related articles by subject or author, users can further explore their topic. In addition, often databases allow patrons to share to Google docs, print, email or download multiple articles.

 

Databases give access to a variety of reference materials!
