[WEB4LIB] RE: Database in your face?

[Karen Harker]

We asked a small sample of users to group a miscellaneous set of resources into any set(s) that they wanted and then lable these sets.  We found that numerous people, although not the majority, used verbs in their lables (i.e. "Find a book") and the most common lable assigned to groups that were mostly citation databases was "Search" (or its close relatives ("searching")).  Hence, when we placed a group of such databases on our page, we labled this set "Search".
