What is a
database?
A database is a collection of articles, facts, images and information from all types of publications.
The library subscribes to multiple databases, such as those with issues of popular magazines, textbooks, scholarly journals, trade journals, world newspapers, and specialized encyclopedias.
You have access to all of them just by having a library card.
For instant
database access:
From HOME, OFFICE, OR OUTSIDE THE LIBRARY,
enter your library card number.
Why do I need databases when
I have the Internet?
The Internet contains equal portions of treasure and trash. Databases save you time and provide access to high quality information.
