Databases

There are many databases and other digital material in the library computers that can’t usually be used from school or home.  Use e-mail or save this information to the memory sticks or diskettes.

Advanced users need them typically for school assignments etc. If you don’t use these databases yet, it doesn’t matter at all. At least you know they exist and where you can find this kind of special information.
