Library Databases

Databases present collections of content. Many of the library's databases for music collections include the full-text of articles from journals; others represent encyclopedias and multi-media content; and some, like Hoopla and Overdrive include more "popular" or "novice-friendly" digital resources such as ebooks and audiobooks.
