Whether you're researching a term paper or looking for information on the best television to buy, the Vestavia Hills Public Library has a database to help you.
Just what is a database?
Library Databases |
Websites |
Library databases get their information from professionals or experts in the field. |
Websites can be written by anyone regardless of expertise. |
Library databases contain published works where facts are checked. |
Website content is not necessarily checked by an expert. |
Library databases are easy to cite in a bibliography and may create the citation for you. |
Websites often don’t provide the information necessary to create a complete citation. |
Library databases can help you narrow your topic or suggest related subjects. |
Websites often aren’t organized to support student research needs. |
Library databases are updated frequently and include the date of publication. |
Websites may not indicate when a page is updated. |
