What is a database? Should I use a website or a database?
How are library databases different from searching in Google or other Internet search engines? Although databases are accessed through your Internet browser they are very different from searching the Internet. Anyone can create a website and put information up on the web which makes the accuracy of many websites questionable and problematic. In contrast, a database is a resource that the library purchases and thus the information that you find there is published through reliable sources. When citing information from a database the source is cited as a book, article or periodical (depending on the type of database) and NOT as a website.

WTPL offers free Wireless InternetThe Library provides wireless Internet that can be used by anyone with a wireless-enabled laptop.  You do not have to be a patron.  You should know how to connect your own laptop to a wireless network.  There may not be anyone at the Library who can provide technical assistance.  Your laptop may display a number of Library wireless networks; you can connect to a network if it has an “unlocked” symbol (an open lock) next to it.  You don’t have to enter a password to connect to a network, and this means that the network is not secure.  This is not a problem unless you need to transfer confidential information, such as passwords or credit card information, in which case you may want to wait until you have access to a secured network.  View our Wireless Internet Policy here.
