Why Use Databases?
A database is a searchable collection of information. A research database is a holding tank of information and often gives one access to many different types of reliable sources, such as: excerpts from books, journal articles, magazine articles, and newspaper articles, primary source material, etc.. Databases also have additional tools to help make research easier and efficient.
