What is a database?

    A collection of articles
    and info from magazines,
    scholarly journals,
    newspapers and other
    reference works.
    Many offer complete,
    full-text articles to print,
    save or email.
    Your tax dollars pay for
    this service which is why
    a library card is required.

What about Google
and Wikipedia?

    Websites can come from
    anyone and can be
    biased and/or outdated.
    Databases provide
    reputable sources.

How can I learn
how to use these?
