Library Databases contain information from news, reference, and scholarly sources as well as media, like images and video. Unlike Google, databases are highly reliable and have helpful tools for the researcher.
Library databases are collections of reliable, published information from newspapers, magazines, journals, and more. They provide credible sources and useful research tools.
Use databases for any school research assignment to find accurate and diverse sources. The only exception is when researching very recent or developing topics that may not yet be included.
