Design for Access to Electronic Databases

[Bouchard, Kerry]

        We have both a subject and alphabetical arrangement, maintained in
an MS Access database and displayed using ASP -- it's the first two links
under Databases & Subject guides at:
http://libnt1.is.tcu.edu/www/Online/Online.shtm.  Now we need to get the
subject guides moved into the access database (so links and descriptions of
databases used in the subject guides only have to be maintained in one
place), and after that we're hoping we can build on it to create a "My
Library" type function like the one at NC State.
