Electronic Resources

What is a Database?

Not even the Library of Congress has enough room for every publication in the USA, never mind the world! So what can be done to provide you with the best possible resources in a library as small as ours? It's simple: we subscribe to databases. These databases give you access to quality books, encyclopedias, maps, pamphlets, and many more sources of information. The only difference between these is that they are in electronic format--so you can use these for your research papers with confidence!
