Databases are information services provided to you. These services must be paid for in order for the user to access the needed information.

These databases include thousands of magazines, newspapers, scholarly journals, and some reference books. Databases are not the Internet, but they are accessible using an Internet browser. Information obtained from a database should not be considered an Internet source.

EbscoHOST's Masterfile Premier, CINAHL with full text, and Academic Search Premier are all examples of databases.
