 * What are Databases and Why You Need Them (Yavapi College Library) **

media type="youtube" key="Q2GMtIuaNzU" height="264" width="476" align="right" Looking for reliable information for your research?
Search the IRC's research databases to find full-text articles and citations from books, journals, magazines and newspapers, as well as primary sources, statistical data and more.

The databases can be accessed from any Internet-based computer. A few of them require passwords for use outside Brockton High School; see a librarian for information on how to access these. Databases are funded by the Brockton Public Schools' IRC Department (where noted) or the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners and the Massachusetts Library System.

For tips on how to use research databases, you might want to look at some Database Tutorials.
