The Library has a large collection of article databases for locating articles. For fire science, try both the general databases and the business databases. Associates Program Source Plus and Business Source Complete are the best for fire science topics. You will need your COD MyAccess username and password to access databases from off-campus.
Databases are organized collections of information that you can search on a variety of fields, like title and author's name. iTunes is a database and so is Amazon. Even your contacts list in your phone is a type of mini database. The Library has databases of articles from newspapers, magazines and journals. We also have databases of streaming videos, music and e-books. The difference between our databases and iTunes or Amazon is that our stuff is free for you to use.
