My definition is ... a collection of information, gathered in one place, organized so that you can find the information later. We carry databases with us everyday. The average person carries a phone. On that phone they have contacts, maybe music, maybe books - each of those is a database.
In libraries, we take it to a different level. A database is a collection of 'credible and reliable' information, gathered in one place and organized so you can find the information later. Gavilan buys access to more than 25 databases to provide you access to 24/7 for free to that information.
