Databases vs. Websites
| Databases | Websites |
|---|---|
| Library databases get their information from professionals or experts in the field. | Websites may be written by anyone regardless of expertise. |
| Library databases contain published works where facts are checked. |
Website content is not necessarily checked by an expert. |
| Library databases are easy to cite and create the citation for you. | Websites often don’t provide the information necessary to create a complete citation. |
| Library databases can help narrow your topic or suggest related subjects. | Websites often aren’t organized to support a student’s research needs. |
| Library databases are updated frequently and include the date of publication. | Websites may not indicate a copyright date or when it was last updated. |
