Search Library Catalogue or Search Library Catalogue or Electronic Databases?Electronic Databases?
Library Catalogue◦ Allows you to find out what items are available from
Lingnan – do we have this book / this journal / this dictionary / this biography / this encyclopedia? If so, where is it located and how to get it?
◦ But it only has information about the book or the journal or the dictionary as a whole; it does not immediately show you the definition of a word, the full text itself or the statistical data itself.
Electronic Databases◦ Different databases provides information at different
levels. Depending on whether it is a full text database or bibliographic index database, it will provide the article level information, table of contents and often the full content (e.g. the article itself, the definition of a word, the photograph itself, a piece of statistical data, etc.)
