What are databases?
Databases are collections of materials gathered to meet the needs of staff and students. Databases may contain periodical articles from Australia and around the world for a wide variety of subjects. Box Hill Institute Library also has databases of online books, Australian standards, and more.
You can search databases as you would the Internet but they provide much more reliable information
Many of our databases can now be searched via our Discovery catalogue. Search on hardcopy items, e-books and online journal articles all in a single search. When doing a search in the catalogue, you may like to select Books & eBooks and last 10 years.
