Databases are similar to search engines, but instead of giving you web sites, databases give you citations (references) to journal, magazine and newspaper articles. Unlike search engines, articles in databases are selected and interpreted by people.
- Databases supply you with citations for journal, magazine and newspaper articles.
- Databases may also contain citations to book chapters, conference proceedings, reports and other materials.
- Databases may include an abstract or summary of the article to help you decide whether or not the article is useful for your research.
- Databases may include the full text of the article.
- Databases allow you to save, print or email the citations or the full text, if it is available.
