Searching Databases
How to find reliable information without Google!
Searching Online Databases
Online Databases or journals contain news, magazine and academic articles about a variety of topics. The benefit of using a database instead of Google is that the database articles have been reviewed and published so they are much less likely to contain inaccurate or unsupported facts and information.
