WHAT ARE DATABASES? |
||

The library databases listed here provide access to the world’s published periodical literature, plus some other types of publications (eg reference books). Search options |

Fulltext databases are just that – the entire text of the published item is retrievable online, sometimes including illustrations. The user can save them to disk, print them out or email them (please note that the extent of copying is regulated by copyright legislation). |

Indexing databases list and describe the contents of the literature
covered by the service. Publication details are retrievable plus
in most cases an abstract [brief description of the content]. |
