Database...

1. I know there is a computer shop in the main street of Katoomba (Katoomba St), but I don't know its name. See if you can find the number for me.

The number is 122, called the Bennett Office Supplies.

2. Sally lives in Merrylands on Fowler Rd, and she wants to know the closest florist to where she lives. Help her out (see if you can get her a map).

3. You want the phone numbers of some motels in Noosa, QLD. But of coarse your phone book only has NSW numbers?

This is an example of the results you can get from the Yellow Pages, when searching for a person and/or place.

Databases!!!

The following logos are the two examples of websites that are known as databases. Both the yellow pages and the white pages provide information/contact details for anyone to search.

Database

The first topic for this term is Database!!!
A database is a tool for collecting and organizing information about people, products orders and more. For example the yellow pages and white pages are databases because they are a collection of data and are organized into different categories so it is easier for us to search for information. You can think of a database as an electronic filing system, something where you can save things like peoples contact details, addresses, notes, post codes and more!!
