Why use an e-database?Why use an e-database?

Because … E-Database is an organized collection of scholarly information.

E-Databases contain update information of journal articles, book reviews, conference papers, and other academic materials.

E-Databases support flexible and in-depth search for journal title, article title, author, issue, volume, etc.

Use electronic databases to search for local and international literature.

Some databases provide the complete full text articles.

Other databases provide abstracts of the journal articles.

Can we use the Library Catalogue to retrieve journal articles?

No!

• We can only search for journal title in the Library Catalogue, but not on individual article title or author.

• The search does not go into details of each issue or volume of the journal.

• Therefore e-database is extremely useful when you want to find articles on particular topics, e.g. Using alternative assessment with Internet.

E-ResourcesE-Resources• More than 40 E-Databases on Education

• Some of them provide full text articles
