Why use the databases?

What is a database? According to the definition of database "database is a collection of information that is organized so that it can be easily accessed, managed and updated." The library subscribes to many databases that compliment all subject areas.  Our databases are broken down to look at particular aspects of research. Here is a sample:

Biography in Context - biographical information and information on a specific person

Opposing Viewpoints - information on "controversial" issues

High School - overall information on a wide range of topics

History in Context - history information

US History in Context - history of events in the US
