Is a database a journal?

A database is a searchable collection of information. In library research, a database is where you find journal articles. Each database contains thousands of articles which you can search for simultaneously and quickly to find articles with higher relevancy than searching in individual journals.

Is an article an online database?

Every library typically has three different types of online databases. An article database allows a person to search a list of thousands, sometimes even millions, of various newspapers, journals and magazines to locate an article on any given subject.

How do you tell if an article is from a database?

Use the Journals and Newspaper Listing. Look up the journal title to find the journal's location. Find a database that contains the article full text and follow the link. If the database is provided by JSTOR, the article is peer-reviewed.

What types of articles are in database?

Many databases have full text articles, so you can read entire articles online. Databases vary in content and may include more than just journal articles; conference proceedings, book chapters, theses, or technical reports may also be covered.
