Types of Search ToolsThe two types of search tools that you will be using in this tutorial are the library catalog and research databases. |

| Library Catalogs |
Provide a searchable database of all of the materials a library purchases. These include records for print and electronic books, magazines, journals, newspapers, electronic government documents, websites, videos, DVDs CDs, and audiobooks. The OCC Library catalog does not include articles. |

| Research Databases |
Are used to find articles on a topic. Some research databases, such as InfoTrac OneFile, are general or multidisciplinary. Others specialize in a particular subject area, such as nursing, psychology, or business. |
