What is a database?
Databases are online versions of print encyclopedias and other reference
books which the library pays for just like buying books.
They do not count as “Internet” resources because they provide the same information as
reference books - they are just in an “electronic” format for easier access.
How to log in:
-
Click on
the database name to begin.
-
If you are at home or school, you need to log-in with your
Mesa library card number and PIN to use them. If you do not know
your PIN, you will have to come in to the
library to choose one.
-
Write down the name
of the database you want to
use before you log-in from home or school, because we have a long
list of databases to choose from.
