Q. What is the difference between InKUire, a database, an e-journal and an e-book?

InKUire is essentially a search engine, which can be used to search across multiple, disparate electronic resources all at once. A database is a kind of a container for electronic resources, including e-journals and e-books, which features its own search functionality. An e-journal is a periodical published at routine intervals, in electronic format (rather than, or as well as, in print format). An e-book is simply a book in electronic format.
