The document provides instructions for a research database assignment. Students are asked to submit a form describing their topic of interest and 5 relevant databases. For each database, they must provide the title, URL, owner, a description of its purpose and subject matter, and how it relates to their research topic. The completed form should be saved with the student's name and assignment in the file name and submitted by the deadline to the Dropbox. Guidelines and grading criteria for the assignment can be found in the Doc Sharing section.
