The librarian says...

What is a journal?  What is a database?

Journals:

  • focus on a specific discipline
  • are published regularly
  • contain articles written by experts
  • articles are peer-reviewed
  • articles are written for experts, not the general public

Databases:

  • are collections of many journals, magazines, ebooks or other sources, accessible online
  • are searchable by subject, author, title, date, or other criteria
