library database
Digital card catalog
A library database is a searchable digital collection of information resources—articles, books, journals, and other materials—accessible through a library's system.
Unlike general internet searches, library databases typically contain curated, peer-reviewed, or otherwise vetted content: The professor required sources from library databases rather than websites.
Most require institutional access through a library card or university affiliation.
