A library database is an online resource that the library subscribes to that contains articles and information from print sources such as magazines, newspapers, journals, and reference books.

Examples:

SIRS Researcher

EBSCO-Host

Gale Literary Resource Center

What is a search engine?

What should I use?

Web sites or software that search the Internet for content that contains a key word, phrase, or subject that is specified by the user to the search engine. Each engine has its own method of searching for information.

Examples:

Google

Bing

Yahoo
