When to use databases:
- When you need scholarly journal articles, magazine articles, newspaper
articles and information not indexed or available on the Web.
- When you are in a hurry;
- Databases contain credible information at one access point so you don't
have to sift through numerous Web sites and try to evaluate their credibility.
- When you are looking for biographies, statistics, or encyclopedia entries.

When to use the Internet:

to a topic.
