NMS Library Research Databases
A database is a digital collection of information resources that can be used for research. Some databases provide information on only one subject area, such as world history or the performing arts, while other databases cover hundreds of different subjects! Databases are excellent sources of information for research projects because they provide only reliable, trustworthy information.
