What is a database?
A database is a collection of magazine, journal, newspaper articles, abstracts, and other information, which has been checked for accuracy and reliability by publishers.
What are the benefits of using a database?
Most of the information found within a database collection is copyrighted and cannot be found using Google or other search engines. The information in the database is organized, searchable, reliable, and provides you with formatted citations!
How should I search a database?
