Too Many Databases?


We have had a lot of discussion about how to increase usage of our subscription databases. Maybe we are coming at the issue from the wrong side, maybe we have too many databases offering things our customers don't want.

How would you feel if our database page were set up like our catalog page, just one box searching just one big database? Lots to think about, like an easier web page to navigate and saving library dollars.

What do you think, is access to 50 databases overkill?
thanks
