narrow your topic
Web sites often are not organized to
support research needs
Library databases are updated

14. Types of library databases
14
 Bibliographic databases provide a descriptive
record of an item, but the item itself is not provided
in the database. Information about the item is
provided, including such things as author, title,
subject, publisher, etc. The information provided is
called a citation. Sometimes a short summary or
abstract of the item is provided as well. Examples
of bibliographic databases include the GALILEO
database Social Sciences Abstracts, or the Internet
Movie Database on the World Wide Web.

15. Full-text database
15
 A full-text database provides the full-text of a
publication. For instance, Research Library in
GALILEO provides not only the citation to a journal
article, but often the entire text of the article as well.
"CollegeSource Online" offers full-text of 20,000
college catalogs, so rather than having to request a
catalog from several colleges to make comparisons,
you can gather information from all colleges you're
interested in at one time.
 Some databases provide numeric information, such as
statistics or demographic information. Examples of
these are (link will open in a pop-up window) Census
Bureau databases and databases containing stock
market information.

16. Meta-databases
16
 Meta-databases are databases that allow one to
search for content that is indexed by other
databases. GOLD is an example of this kind of
database. If you find a citation for an article in one
of the bibliographic databases and want to
determine if the article is available in full-text in
another database, you could do a search for the
journal in GALILEO in Journals A-Z to get a list of
all the databases that index that specific
publication.

17. Article database
17
An article database allows a person to search a list
of thousands, sometimes even millions, of various
newspapers, journals and magazines to locate an
article on any given subject. Some of the various
articles that one may find in such an article
database are full text articles while some searches
may abstracts of articles. Other times, a search may
simply yield a citation instead of a full text article
or an article abstract.

18. Reference database
18
A reference database offers information of a reference
nature from a host of various print sources. This
reference material can be from anything like
background information, stats or facts. The difference
between an article database and a reference database is
that a reference database is more subject-specific than
an article database. For instance, a reference database
allows people to search for such specific search criteria
like literature, law, music, art or science and
technology.
Examples of Reference Databases
 Cross Reference Database Search Engine
 Alaska Fire Effects Reference Database Website

Why use it?
 You can use it to find journal articles on your topic.
 It’s easy to search and when you find an article of
interest you can read it straight away.

you can make your searches quite precise.
