Why Use a Database?

Databases are powerful resources for collecting primary sources for your research throughout the curriculum, while the Web provides free access to what companies and people have made available to the public. Remember, anyone can create a web page, whether they are a subject expert or not, and the information you find may be incorrect or subjective. Using a database will not only save you time, but it will also provide you with accurate, reliable information that you can trust. 

Other Perks:

• Databases are organized and have powerful filters, making searching easy!

• Databases are constantly being updated with the most current information available!

• The majority of these databases cite themselves (simply press the 'Cite' option and select MLA, APA, etc., or instantly send it to NoodleTools).

• These databases are used by College and University students to conduct their research (learn how to use them now so you are prepared. You will be expected to be Database savvy when you enter your Freshmen year)!

• There are helpful features that you can customize to fit your needs including highlighting, audio, embedded dictionaries, note taking, exporting options, integration with NoodleTools and more!

• REMEMBER: All Databases are considered a 'Print Resource'!
