[WEB4LIB] Re: Alternatives to the term "database"

[Kay Bouwens]

Our problem is that our public doesn't know what the term databases
means.  On our OPAC we have three large buttons (epixtech PAC for Win) on
the first screen; 1. Library Catalog, 2. Internet and 3. Magazine and
E-sources.  It seems to work, 'though I think in the Windows environment
people are more than willing to click on anything.
