What is an online index/database?
An online index or database is an index that is accessed using the Internet. It can either be one that is produced by a commercial source, governmental source, educational source or even an individual. The main requirement is Internet access in order to reach it and then utilize it. Usually when Spiva library staff refers to an online index (electronic index/database) they are referring to one of the commercial databases that we have subscribed to through vendors such as: Ebsco, ProQuest, H.W.Wilson, etc. and can be found on our article databases page. Access to them requires you either use an on-campus computer or entry of your Missouri Southern Username and Password from off campus.
