What is a database?

A library database is an organized, searchable, browsable collection of information and resources. Most library databases contain multiple types of media, including ebooks, videos, images, articles, etc. Faculty, staff, and students can utilize the databases to complete coursework, conduct research, and find information on a variety of health sciences topics. Plus, you pay for them, so why not use them?
