Databases
are collections of data organized for easy access. Databases can
include information about specific topics or contain numerous resources
on a wide variety of topics. Many state and city libraries maintain
databases for use by their citizens; however, users must have an
account at their local public library to gain access. Several such
databases are included here: contact you local library for more
information about databases in city or state.
