Databases vs. Websites

Databases provide direct access to academic sources that have been checked for accuracy and reliability. With the click of a button, databases also provide the full APA/MLA citation for each source, which you can use in your Bibliography. Databases also offer useful features such as the 'topic finder' or 'thesis builder'.

It is highly recommended that you use our library databases to locate sources for your assignments!
