Review Questions Databases are repositories of article information from journals, magazines, conferences, and sometimes books and newspapers.
Databases cover a wide range of topics.
Some databases offer a full text feature that links you directly to an article, so you can download and print it directly off the Internet. For this assignment a database you will be using frequently is LISA, the acronym for Library and Information Science Abstracts , covering library literature from 1969 to present. LISA covers the field of librarianship and information science but includes many related areas such as Publishing, and specific applications of information technology in such fields as Medicine and Agriculture. In addition to including articles, book reviews and conferences, LISA indexes selected research report series. Library Lit indexes more than 229 key library and information science periodicals published in the United States and elsewhere.
