Using library online subscription databases to complete research assignments.

When you receive an assignment from a professor and you are required to use "sources" to write a paper or complete an assignment, you will want to use the library's databases. The databases contain published articles from journals, magazines, and newspapers. The articles are digitized and arranged according to broad categories. You use the internet to access them, but they are not considered internet sources because they are not websites. Rather, these sources are articles. Using library databases to complete research assignments is how college level research is conducted.
