Databases
1. Information can be viewed as a public good. There can even be a right to
much information in a democratic society.
2. Information can be viewed as a private good. Access to some kinds of information may be restricted.
Some kinds of information are commodities that are bought and sold in the marketplace.
3. Libraries, themselves a public good, provide access to both kinds of
information.
4. Libraries provide access to databases, which are often expensive.

ProQuest Research:

Try 3 searches around your topic: Basic, Advanced, and Topic. You might “stash”
your results temporarily. Report you results including availability.

Now try searching 3 other databases for your topic (they don’t have to be from the above list).
