I'm setting up a kind of selection policy to activate the databases provided by Ebsco to our EDS (Ebsco Discovery Service).<br>
<br>
I would like to get ideas how do you decide which database should be active or inactive in EDS. Do you have any selection policy by criteries or do you involve users into the decision making or is it an intuitive decision for each provided database?<br>
<br>
Any ideas and experiences would be greatly appreciated!<br>
