There are two types of databases
commonly used in academic research:
- Bibliographic Database - contains
citations and subject headings for publications such as books, periodical
articles, videotapes or government documents, but not the full-text
of the cited articles. Searching this type of database is at least a
two-step project, as you need to leave the database to locate the text
of the book or article you desire.
- Full-text Database - contains the
complete text of a work, such as an article, book, poem, or essay in
the database itself.
- An Increasing number of databases contain a combination
of both bibliographic and full-text records.
