Databases
Why use a database when you can just Google it? Databases provide academically reliable and accurate information. Websites can be written by anyone, regardless of expertise. Databases get their information from experts and professionals in a particular field of study. All articles have been fact-checked and are credible academic sources. Databases also provide a citation service to make the creation of your Works Cited list quick and easy.
