What is the difference between electronic databases and electronic journals? An electronic database is usually a collection of academic and professional literature or articles from electronic journals grouped by subject matter, statistical data or data sets, or news. It usually comes with a search engine or search platform and helpful features, such as email alerts, search history, etc. An electronic journal on the other hand is an electronic version of a journal. New journals may start out as electronic and does not have a print equivalent. The journal publisher will usually group the issues of the same journal together and even offer a simple search feature.

:: Research Tool ::

It allows you to collect and organise your references while you do your literature research. The power of EndNote lies in its ability to let you Cite While You Write.

NTU staff and students can download and install the software on their PCs or laptops. Please refer to the Library EndNote website for more information and instructions. The Library conducts EndNote workshops regularly. Look out for announcements on the Library Homepage. Even better, organise a group of 12 and above and we will arrange a session especially for you.
