Types of Search ToolsThe two types of search tools that you will be using in this tutorial are the library catalog and research databases. |

| Library Catalogs |
Provide a searchable database of all of the materials a library purchases. These include records for print and electronic books, magazines, journals, newspapers, electronic government documents, websites, videos, DVDs CDs, and audiobooks. The Ancilla College Library catalog does not include articles. |

| Research Databases |
Are used to find articles on a topic. Some research databases, such as Academic Search Premier, are general or multidisciplinary. Others specialize in a particular subject area, such as nursing, psychology, or business. |
