What is a database?
Databases are electronic services that offer access to articles, streaming videos, and eBooks. The library pays for subscriptions to these services and makes them available to students, faculty, and staff. Unfortunately, this service does not extend to Alumni. The kind of information you find in a database is usually more reliable than what you might find doing a search on a regular web search engine like Google. These are good resources to use when conducting research for school, or even personal use.
