About Databases
Proprietary databases to which Taylor University subscribes have distinctive differences from search engines such as Google or Google Scholar. A database, generally, is a collection of information organized to provide efficient retrieval of subject matter, specifically scholarly subject matter. They tend to be narrower in scope than search engines.
Prominent features of proprietary databases generally:
- Cover specific discipline area/s.
- Include academic (peer-reviewed) articles from journals or magazines, electronic books, newspapers, images and research related resources.
- Provide citation information or full text to what may be included in the text of the article (a works cited or bibliography.)
- Are subscriptions for which Zondervan pays. Whereas Google is free some databases are thousands of dollars per year.
Zondervan Library subscribes to a variety of research databases that contain journal, magazine, and newspaper articles on both general and specific disciplines. There are pros and cons for each option. Awareness of the content, organization, precision of search capabilities can save you time and yield the most appropriate and relevant results.
