Databases contain scholarly information and are collections of online publications. Databases provide access to journal articles, journals, e-books, chapters in books and in some cases, theses and dissertations. Most databases include full text articles and other reference items.
Google Scholar is a subset of Google that indexes more formal and scholarly literature in the public domain. It thus includes references to journal articles, Google Books, documents and reports etc. Google Scholar can only provide full text access to documents where they are freely available. If you use the Google Scholar link on the UKZN Library website you will also be able to access full text of those items UKZN Library pays for. Clicking on the title of an item will take you to the location of that full text.
