What is a library database?
Databases:
- provide electronic access 24/7 to academic journals, magazines, newspapers, books, video clips, and audio clips.
- are organized so they can be searched by keyword, author, title, and subject. Some databases offer additional ways they can be searched such as publisher, corporate name, and series.
- provide full-text of many articles - not just a citation or abstract.
- may provide access to peer-reviewed journals.
- contain current articles - some published as recently as today!

Why use a library database? (2:34)
You may be asked to use scholarly, credible, or peer-reviewed resources to complete a project, speech, or paper. In many cases, you will not find these types of resources available through a search engine such as Google.
Watch this video to see why your library is a better choice for scholarly resources than the open web.
