Library Vs Google: by Anirban Roy It 1St Year Roll No 5 Gnit College

Library databases and Google search engines both provide access to information but have key differences. Library databases contain scholarly articles, books, and other vetted sources while Google indexes many websites. Library databases are best for college-level research where credibility is important, while Google can find general information more quickly but results require more evaluation. Library databases have review processes and stable, permanent content while Google content can change or disappear over time. Databases are accessed through academic libraries while most Google information is free.
