What is a Database?
A database is a collection of articles which are accessible online, but which (in most cases) first appeared in print sources such as scholarly journals, magazines written for the general public, or newspapers. The articles have been placed online so that they can be easily searched and accessed.
A database normally lets you search for articles in a variety of ways, including by keyword, subject or author. Some of the articles you retrieve will only be article abstracts, or summaries. Other articles will appear in full-text form, meaning the entire article is available to you. Most databases have a full-text option you can choose so that only full-text articles will appear in your search results.
Visit Searchpath module 4 for in-depth help with using databases.
To see an alphabetical listing of all the databases offered by STLCC Libraries
Use the Databases to search for journal, magazine and newspaper articles. Some specialized databases also include videos, audio files and more. Always check the database's help options to learn what each offers. Databases are available online via campus computers or off-campus with current student, staff or faculty STLCC identification.
The Films on Demand (FOD) database contains thousands of films and film clip segments on many topics. Films can be viewed in their entirety or by segment, making them ideal for presentations. You can create a private and free user account to keep track of favorites and playlists. The FOD and other databases offered by STLCC Libraries are accessible from any campus computer and by logging into the database from off campus (help in connecting from home).
