What's a Database?
Psst -- what's a database?
In its most basic sense, a database
is just a selection of information designed for you to search and retrieve stuff from it. Amazon is a database you're probably familiar with: it's limited (only contains things you can buy through them) and retrievable (you can search and filter your results to find what you're looking for).
The library databases contain reputable, reliable sources of information to support researchers like you! This means everything from digital encyclopedias (like Credo), e-books, scholarly journal articles, magazine and newspaper articles, streaming videos, statistics, and more.
