[Web4lib] Research database descriptions

This summer, I followed a link from this list to a college library website.
I liked how this library handled the descriptions of research databases.
Next to the name of the database was a small link that said "+more"
which, when clicked, would expose the description of what the resource
contained and why you'd want to use it. (And then there would be a
link that said "-less" to make the description go away). This may have
been in the context of a discussion about whether to do this sort of
thing with CSS.
I thought it was ingenious. I intended to explore using this method when
the time came to redesign our page. And now I have lost the link.
If you know what I'm talking about, please email me. I think this method
sucks somewhat less than most others I've seen.
Your most humble and obedient servant,
