What is a database?

  

A database is an on-line resource which can be searched. Our databases provide electronic access to many online journals.

The advantage of using e-journals rather than paper ones is that you can search for topics by keyword.

You can also save any articles you find in a folder so that you can easily find them again.

Some of these e-journals are also available in paper form.
