Think of library databases as portals to information & resources. This information often comes in the form of academic (or "scholarly") articles where the authors use research to support their argument, but databases can also include several other types of resources, such as: statistics, reports, infographics (like charts or graphs), films, documentaries, and eBooks.
Because they are available through annual subscriptions, most library databases (and the content within them) are only available to members of that library's immediate community.
