Database Subscriptions provide access to which materials?

• A. Access to scholarly articles and journals.
• B. Personal profiles for tracking borrowed materials.
• C. Harassment through digital platforms.
• D. Legal rights over creative works and inventions.

Answer: (A)

Database subscriptions give users access to scholarly articles and journals. Libraries subscribe to these databases so patrons can search across many journals and obtain full-text articles, abstracts, and related scholarly resources. This is exactly what the option describes. The other statements refer to features or rights that aren’t provided by database subscriptions: tracking borrowed materials is part of the library’s circulation system, not the database; harassment through digital platforms is unrelated to library databases; and legal rights over creative works and inventions pertain to copyright and patents, not access to database content.
