What is a database? A database is an electronic collection of published works, either full text articles, video, music, citations, or abstracts of articles (or chapters in books). Most databases have a full-text option you can choose so that only full text articles (available to you) will appear in the search results.
CMU faculty, staff and students can submit an interlibrary loan request for articles not found in our database collections. Articles normally arrive in 1-3 days.
