Public Libraries–Databases
Source: The Seattle Times
Countless Levels of Data on Libraries’ Web Sites
From the article, “Google, the No. 1 search engine, can’t offer all the information we might want from the Internet. In fact, we can’t get to some extremely useful information that’s on the Net simply by asking Google. I’m talking about those information-rich databases that are generally expensive and require membership for access. Public libraries, for example, subscribe to several of these databases and make them freely available to patrons.” Those of you who are affiliated with a university or community college also have access to these types of tools.
Note: Many other public libraries in the U.S., Canada, and elsewhere offer similar services. Check your library’s web site or just give them a call and ask. Most colleges and universities also offer remotely accessible databases for their students and faculty.
