Databases collect published articles from newspapers, magazines, journals, and other sources.  Some provide materials from as far back as particular publications go.  Articles found in databases should be considered print sources, as they were, for the most part published on paper before they became part of the database.

Because databases are collections of materials that have been edited, evaluated, and published, they are a reliable source of information.

In addition to Gale databases, OSLIS provides information on the research process as well as MLA and APA citation makers.
