What is a Database?

  • Research tools that help you find articles in journals, magazines, or newspapers, or other information sources like books, videos, and maps.
  • Some focus on a kind of source (like newspaper articles); most of ours focus on scholarly research in a specific academic field.

(Ruth Szpunar at DePauw University)
