The
two types of databases that you will be using are: the library catalog
and article databases.
Library
catalogs
organize all of the materials a library purchases.
These include records for books, magazines, journals, newspapers,
videos, sound recordings, images, etc.
A
library catalog does not include records for individual periodical
articles.
Article
databases
are
used to identify magazine or journal articles on a topic.
Some
article databases such as Academic Search Premier are general
or multidisciplinary.
Many
of our databases specialize in a particular subject area, such
as medicine, psychology, or business.
