What is a database?

A database is an organized collection of computer records having a standard format designed for efficient retrieval of information.  The MCC Library, like most libraries, has many databases.  The library catalog is just one example of a database.  We also have databases for finding articles from magazines, newspapers, and journals.  ProQuest is an example of this type of database, which is often referred to as a periodical database.
