The two types
of databases that you will use for research in college: the library catalog
and the article database.
Library
catalogs
organize all of the materials a library purchases.
These include records for books, magazines, journals, newspapers,
videos, sound recordings, images, etc.
ALICE
does not include articles.
Article
databases
are
used to identify articles on a topic.
Some
article indexes such as Lexis/Nexis are general or multidisciplinary.
Many
indexes specialize in a particular subject area, such as communications, history or education.
