Databases also provide a Listen feature so you can hear the article read out loud to you, a Translation feature so that you can have the article translated into another language, and usually provide the pre-formatted MLA-8 citation for you, so you can copy/paste that citation right into NoodleTools.  All of these features together make databases a very useful resource for students!
