What is a Library Database?

A library database is an online collection of information. The library subscribes to a variety of databases.  Staff and students can access articles, eBooks, conference proceedings and other research material to support their study and research. 

Why should you use a Library Database?

Library databases are selected by librarians and academic staff based on their content. The journal articles, eBooks, conference proceedings and research material within these databases provide quality support for ATU Sligo courses.
