Two types
of databases that you will be using are: library catalog and article
indexes.
Library
catalogs
organize all of the materials a library purchases.
These include records for books, magazines, journals, newspapers,
videos, DVDs, sound recordings, etc.
The
Clarke Catalog does not include articles.
Article
databases/indexes
are
used to identify articles on a topic.
Some
article databases such as Academic Search Premier or
ArticleFirst are general or multidisciplinary.
Many
indexes specialize in a particular subject area, such as biology,
education, or business.
