Using Online Databases
- "Online databases are organized collections of computerized information or data such as periodical articles, books, graphics, and multimedia that can be searched to retrieve information.
- Databases can be general or subject-oriented with bibliographic citations, abstracts, and/or full text.
- The sources indexed may be written by scholars, professionals, or generalists.
- Online databases that are retrieved from the World Wide Web are generally non-fee-based, lack in-depth indexing, and do not index proprietary resources.
- Subscription or commercial databases are more refined with various types of indexing features, searching capabilities, and help guides."
