What's a database?

A library database is a collection of resources containing either full text documents, abstracts, citations, or chapters in books. Some databases cover a broad range of subjects, while others are specific to different subjects. The databases are accessible to all TUS students and staff 24/7. Off campus access is also available by clicking on the link http://library.lit.ie/find/databases/ and entering your account number and password.
