Why use library databases instead of Google?

Search engines like Google can help you find general information, but many high-quality academic sources are not freely available on the open web. Library databases provide access to scholarly articles, journals and research materials that have been reviewed for accuracy and reliability.

Using library databases helps you find stronger, more credible sources for your assignments.
