What is an online database?
It’s a collection of good, reliable sources of information that can be accessed through the Internet.
It’s like going to an actual library and looking for scholarly journals, magazines, newspapers, encyclopedias, and reference books, but someone has scanned all of these items and put them in one place....and you can access them from your computer.
Where can you find online databases?
Not through Google! Only through libraries.
K-12 school libraries (INFOhio) and college/university libraries (OhioLink) have access to many online databases thanks to funding by the state of Ohio.
The Cincinnati Public library has access to even more online databases thanks to funding by OPLIN, a consortium of 251 public libraries in Ohio.
