What are Databases?  

These electronic resources contain large amounts of information of different sorts, including:

• articles from periodicals (magazines, journals or newspapers)  
• encyclopedia articles
• images
• materials
• statistics in spreadsheet format
  

Note that the articles in our periodical and encyclopedia databases are all PRINT based; the database is simply an electronic tool that allows you to access print material faster.  Also note that some information is:

• full text: electronic version of the article is included (look for "full-text;" or PDF and HTML icons)
• not full text: you must find a print copy of the article; use  OCAD Periodicals A - Z to see if we have the title you need in our collection 
  
  
  

Help Guides

View our Databases A to Z  and use our PDF  Search Guides to learn more.  Also consider using RefWorks to organize and create bibliographies.
