What is a Database?
A library database is an electronic collection of information and documents, including newspapers, magazines, scholarly journals, and more.
Databases are not considered "the Internet." We use an internet browser to access library databases but we are not searching a website. Unlike searching Google, using a library database will allow you to:
- Limit a search by keyword, author, date, publication, etc.
- Find reliable sources such as peer-reviewed or scholarly articles
- Avoid paywalls or other paid subscription content
Databases for Scholarly Articles
The databases listed below are multidisciplinary (spanning several subjects) and appropriate for students with a wide variety of research topics.
If you need help choosing a database, Ask a Librarian!
Databases for Newspapers and Magazines
The library provides online access to newspapers, magazines, and other "popular" sources from around the world.
If you need help finding a specific newspaper or magazine, Ask a Librarian!
