Here are some key differences between the two resources: Databases: • … work through the Internet, but are not Internet sites. • … are published by reliable companies, like book publishers. • … provide access to information, articles, and more. • … use really flexible search methods. • … are “free” with your Anne Arundel County Public Library card. Internet: • … can have unreliable information. • … valuable content (like magazine or newspaper articles) is not free. • … has annoying pop-up ads, flashing banners, and advertisements. Why should you use databases? • …because you need ARTICLES for a research paper. • …because your teacher told you to use only SCHOLARLY material. • …because you want FREE ACCESS to articles & e-books. • …because the guides include car repair, consumer reports, legal forms, music & much more!
