Want Your Locally Licensed Databases in the New SELCO Catalog?
November 14, 2008 10:23 AM | Automation, ILSDonovan Lambright, Automation Librarian
As part of our planning for the upcoming AquaBrowser catalog implementation, SELCO is gathering information on research databases purchased locally by Online Libraries. Along with the databases provided by the state and by SELCO, these databases will be searchable in the new catalog. Please return, via email to me, the names of any databases your library has purchased that you would like in the new catalog by Friday, November 21. I realize that MLA is coming up but we need a quick turnaround on this question in order to get contract negotiations moving.
In case you are wondering, locally licensed databases will be searchable only by patrons who are entitled to access. There are several means of achieving this and we are still working out the method that will work best for us. You can rest assured however, that including your databases in the catalog will not automatically make them accessible to the entire region and thus violate your license agreement with the database vendor.
Please contact the SELCO Help Desk with any questions.
