- A library database is an online collection of resources that contain articles and information from sources such as magazines, newspapers, journals, videos, and reference books.
- Most of the things you find in our databases cannot be found in Google or Wikipedia because the library pays for these resources through a subscription.
- Some databases are "multidisciplinary"--meaning they contain articles on a wide variety of topics. Other databases are more specialized and may focus on articles from a particular subject area such as business, history, or psychology.
- The information is provided from professionals or experts in the field.
- Access these databases through the library's website, book.matc.edu.
- To see a list of all the databases, click on the A-Z List of Databases tab on the One Search box on our webpage.
- To get more information on how to find articles in our library databases, see the How to Find a Journal Article guide.
