Database is a compiled aggregation of several different sources of information with a common thread by a subject or source type
A Library is a full-text aggregator of content they buy
Internet is the largest public Aggregator of freely available content

Access is the primary value delivered by content aggregation.
Access without aggregation is like a Library without a Library Catalog or OPAC.
