<p class="MsoNormal">Hi everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We’re looking into changing how we manage our databases, including the frontend ability to search for a database, sort databases by subject area/topic and create a database A-Z list. We’re currently using ExLibris’ MetaLib.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The solutions I’ve found so far include using LibGuides or creating a home grown database, so I was wondering if anyone has any other products or solutions that are working for you.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And a follow-up question: Are you cataloging your databases directly in your catalog, importing records into your catalog from another system or not adding database records to your catalog at all?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for the help,<o:p></o:p></p>
