Database Log On Instructions

Hello 7th and 8th graders! For this semester's assignment, we will be using Allen Park Public Library's Facts on File and General Reference Center Gold databases. Databases are organized collections of data. Why is using a database better than simply "Googling" a topic? Databases are more precise and edited for accuracy and accountability.
