E-Databases

An e-database (electronic database) is a digital collection of organized information that can be accessed online. E-databases typically contain academic articles, journals, books, reports, and other research materials that are used for scholarly research, education, and professional development. These resources are usually indexed in a way that allows users to search, retrieve, and access specific pieces of information efficiently.
