What Are Databases?
What is a database and why should I use one?
A database is a collection of digital resources such as news articles, academic journals, magazine articles, images, videos, research studies, and primary source documents that are gathered in one single location and can be trusted as a trustworthy source.
You have an assignment to do and you want to use information that you can find and trust easily. By searching the databases on this page, you can find the supportive evidence that you need to complete your assignment.
If you have any questions on how to access, use, and find information in a database, please, email Ms. Monk and she can help you!
