"Database" alternative--thanks

[VanderHart, Robert]

Belated thanks to all who responded to my question a couple of weeks ago on
alternatives to the term "database" as a label on our web site.  Some
indicated that they were having the same struggle with their sites.  A
couple of people (John Kupersmith and John Hubbard) forwarded results of
surveys they had performed by examining a number of sites and noting what
terms were used.  While there was/is no consensus on what to call a
"databases" page, it does appear from the surveys that the term "databases"
is used more than other terms. 

We will probably stay with the term "Searchable Databases" for our
redesigned site (not yet publicly available).

Once again, thanks.
