An online research database is simply a searchable collection of information managed by a trustworthy organization or company.
Online subscription databases contain the most comprehensive, the most up-to-date, and the most reliable sources of information. We strongly recommend using our databases when doing research, rather than surfing the Internet for information.
All of these databases are FREE and accessible remotely.
