Welcome to the Edward Waters College Library
1. A Basic Introduction to the services of the
Edward Waters College Library
Library Mission
The mission of the Library is to
facilitate academic learning
and research, to support the
college curriculum, to enhance
classroom instruction and the
critical thinking process, the
teaching of information
literacy, and to promote
professional, ethical, and
social growth by providing the
latest information resources,
services, and technologies to
students and faculty. The
Library further endeavors to
stimulate and encourage the
development of lifelong
learning.
Vision Statement
The traditional purpose of an
academic library is to support
the curriculum. This can be
accomplished in a
nontraditional way by relying
heavily on electronic
resources, as well as print and
non-print materials. A 21st
century library is also
dedicated to the provision of
information literacy. Most
importantly, the purpose of the
Edward Waters College Library
is to focus on the nature of the
academic programs and of the
student body served,
demanding nothing less.
Library Goals
To facilitate student and
faculty academic learning and
research.
To support the college
curriculum.
To enhance classroom
instruction.
To promote the professional,
ethical, and social growth of
the whole college family.
The Library is guided by the
principles of the Library Bill of
Rights in the development of
its programs and services.

12. THE BASIC DEFINITION OF A LIBRARY DATABASE:
A library database is an electronic catalog or index, often contains information about published items,
and is searchable.
TYPES OF MATERIAL FOUND USING LIBRARY DATABASES ARE:
Articles from Journals and Magazines
Electronic Books
Newspapers
Images
Reference Sources
Library databases typically provide citation information about the items they index. A citation most
often consists of:
Author
Title of Article
Source (Title of Publication)
Publisher
Date of Publication
Some library databases provide abstracts of the items they index. Abstracts are summaries provided by
the author or database publisher.
A few library databases provide the full text (entire article) of some of the items they index.
Library databases sometimes omit photos, graphs, charts, and figures from articles, but most will indicate
that these have been omitted.
THE BASIC DIFFERENCES:
Some library databases index items across many subject areas. Most databases index materials from a
specific focus or discipline.
