The
two types of databases that you will be using
are: library catalog and article databases.
Library
catalogs
organize
all of the materials a library
purchases. These include records for
books, magazines, journals, newspapers,
videos, sound recordings, images, etc.
The
Library Catalogs do not include articles.
Article
databases
are
used to identify articles on a
topic.
Some
article databases such as InfoTrac Expanded
Academic ASAP are general or
multidisciplinary.
Many
databases specialize in a particular
subject area, such as Ebsco Psychology
and Behavioral Sciences Collection.
