What is a library database?
- Library databases are the BEST way to find quality, scholarly articles from journals.
- A library database is an online resource that the library subscribes to that indexes articles from print sources such as magazines and journals. Each separate database includes different articles from a different set of journals, although there may be some overlap of articles included in some databases.
- Even though a database is online, it is not considered an internet source.
