Top 10 Reasons to use Databases

There’s nothing wrong with using Google or another search engine to find information on the web. Just keep in mind that most of the information retrieved from the open web hasn’t been evaluated.

All of the articles found in the library databases have already been evaluated for accuracy and credibility by discipline-specific experts and publishers.
