library resources
Books and databases
Library resources are the materials and services a library provides for research, learning, and information access.
These include books, periodicals, databases, digital archives, and reference services.
The term often appears in academic contexts where students are directed to use library resources rather than general internet searches, implying vetted, reliable sources curated by librarians.
