Databases can contain a combination of full text articles (ready to read online) and/or citation information about articles, book chapters, books, or other resources.
When searching, skimming items you come across in your results can be a key way to evaluate whether they will be a useful source for your writing. See UNC Chapel Hill's guide to skimming for tips.
