 Databases vs. Websites?

Databases

  • Are fee-based; the library pays to license them.
  • Are available to registered members of the library.
  • Focus on a specific body of information (i.e. Aeronautics, Engineering)
  • May contain articles, books, gov documents, maps, technical reports.
  • Contain information written by professional writers and subject experts.

Websites

  • So MANY hits, so little time to check them all.
  • The free Web -- searchable via search engines like Google, Yahoo, or Ask.com.
  • Available to anyone with an internet access.
  • May NOT be current, updated, or show no date at all.
  • Rarely full-text articles!
  • Covers any and all topics.
  • Information written by anyone (convicts, teachers, children, students, or psychopaths).
NOTE: Most instructors want information from databases first!
