Database - Databases are online resources that the library subscribes to that contain articles and other information from print sources such as magazines, newspapers, journals and reference books.
Shaw-Leslie Library subscribes to both article databases (GALILEO) and reference databases (Credo Reference). Article databases provide access to abstracts or full-text articles, while reference databases provide facts, statistics and background information. Both of these databases require user login information.
Using large sets of databases like GALILEO requires some skill and practice. While class instruction does happen, you can also get individualized help with GALILEO by making a 30-minute appointment. Appointment times are available in person or online, in the day or evening.
