Library Database Access

Computers in libraries are most often used to gain access to the library's book database, a more modern version of previous library cards. This interface usually allows searching the database for a genre of books, and the ability to check whether a book is available in the building. Some libraries allow internet access from their computers for online research and other related functions.
