Limiting public web access

We would like to begin offering web access to selected databases like 
Wilson Web or the Information Access products, however we are 
concerned that if we put general web browsers on all of our public 
machines (of which we have a limited number) then our users will tie 
them up surfing the web and we will not be able to offer the 
periodical database access that we currently offer through our cdrom 
products.  Are there ways that we can offer access only to selected 
web sites and block users from going to any other sites?

We do have other pc's where general web cruising is allowed, but they 
are often full during the day and always full from 2:30 until we 
close.
