Databases are a collection of digital resources, including articles, primary sources, images, video and audio clips.
Libraries subscribe, pay for, and provide access to databases for their students.
The majority of databasesare integrated with Google (this means you can save articles and information directly to your Google Drive), have real time translation so you can access content in different languages, and provide properly formatted MLA or APA citations for you.
ABC-CLIO databases connect students, scholars, and teachers with curated collections of primary sources, expert perspectives, and reference material on essential subjects in U.S. history and government, world history, geography, and a range of multicultural disciplines.
