What is a database?

A database is a collection of useful online resources with high-quality, accurate information, with everything from auto repair to genealogy, language learning to test prep, legal resources to product reviews, such as magazine and journal articles (Masterfile), practice SAT or nursing tests (Learning Express), Nolo books and legal forms (Legal Information Reference Center), information to help you research your family tree (Ancestry (while in the Library) and Newspaper Archive), and much more. Go to our database's webpage for links.
