A library database is essentially an electronic collection of published works. Most library databases index articles from journals, magazines, and newspapers, and some focus on specific disciplines while others are multidisciplinary (and therefore cover many different topics).  

To use a database effectively:

  • Search for content by keyword, title, author and more.
  • Add limits to your search to help narrow down your results; limit by publication date, source type and more.
  • Generate citations for your research papers.
