Library Databases are organized collections of articles, ebooks, and other digital resources. Databases allow you to search through hundreds of publications at the same time using key words based on your topic.
Why use library databases?
1. All articles have been edited and reviewed.
2. Everything is acceptable for your research at Camosun.
3. Faster searching AND results may be more trustworthy than some information found on the open Internet.
4. Articles are free unlike many scholarly resources found on the Internet. Never pay for articles—come to the library and ask for help.
