What is a Database?

Electronic databases are collections of magazine, newspaper and journal articles that have already been published elsewhere (usually in print). They are excellent sources to find archives of published articles, with some publications dating back as far as 25 years or more.

These databases are easy to search, comprehensive and will help you to find with the
appropriate level of information needed for your academic assignments and reports.

Database Alerts

If you are interested in having articles emailed to you on a specific topic as they are published, you can easily set up an 'alert' in many of the library's electronic databases.
