Got two minutes?  Learn how to use a database!  We just added 3 short videos on how to use these databases:

• CultureGrams
• The New York Times 1855-2005
• SIRS Issues Researcher (Opposing Viewpoints)

As an extra bonus you can download and print out a quick start guide for each database.

There is also a video Why Databases (a little longer - 5 minutes) on why you should use a database instead of using a search engine on the Internet.

Videos can be found under How-to Videos. Select How to Use Databases.

Let me know if this helped you or if you have other video suggestions.
