Why use online databases?

Online databases combine the power of the Internet with published content from journals, magazines and newspapers.  An authentication is required to access our Online Resources, so they are NOT available to everyone.  Internet search engines, such as Google Scholar, may provide results that require a credit card purchase to access.  Most of the time, the library can get the article free of charge for you.
