[WEB4LIB] Re: Update to my Electronic Journals Resource

[Karen Harker]

We are trying to implement a database for ease of maintenance.  While retrieval by our clients other than by title is not a priority, the librarian in charge of implementing and maintaining the licenses of all these titles needs a way of retrieving titles by various factors, such as those with limited numbers of users, those that are IP-restricted, etc.  So we have created an Access database with all the different fields necessary for keeping track of these.  When all information has been entered, we will use ColdFusion to create a list of titles linked to their sites and listed alphabetically.  If we determine that our users would like to search for these titles by keywords or subject or some other factor, we could easily implement this.

Our people did something very similar here. The "master list" in its
current form is at

And like Amity, we're in a quandry as to how to maintain it - but it's
great to have it there!
