What do you use for your Database Library listing?

[Teresa Coberly]

For an A - Z list of our databases with descriptions, access instructions and links we use an open source software package called Subjects Plus.  We also use it for our Research Guides.  

Here is the entry page that we created on our website http://lawlibrary.colorado.edu/find.   If you click on Show All Databases it will give you an alphabetical list.  

It is great software and the developers are very responsive to questions and requests for support.  http://www.subjectsplus.com/

We use an access database and asp scripts to power our database listings.  This way we can update in one place and it propagates across the alphabetical and subject listing pages.

Due to Primo Central, we have stopped offering metasearching, figuring that for anyone needing more depth or direct access to a database or service beyond what Primo Central offers, the native interface is the better option.  So we are dropping MetaLib and need to find an alternative for our 1200 plus entries in our Database Library.
