Day 14: Databases vs. Search Engines


Databases are where it's at for a researcher! The information is organized, reviewed by librarians, unchanging (stable), and purchased (money talks!). Search engines are the opposite and, though sometimes handy for a quick answer, will NOT give the kind of scholarly depth needed for a research project,

What databases will be worthwhile for my Book of Book Days project? I have linked the Library of Congress to my blog, but what about other publications or journals? Historical journals may have articles about Book of Days books, as perhaps writing journals?  I need to locate some databases to investigate.
