<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Ours are fairly pragmatic. First, everything that is database-ish that is paid for, that's probably an easy set to define, although things like Wiley Major Reference Works can cause trouble as
to whether they're databases or single encyclopedias.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">But when it comes to the "free stuff", we basically go with the principle that if it's good enough to be included in one of our subject guides (homegrown equivalent of libguides), then it's good
enough to be in our databases A-to-Z list.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">So that's just slightly more restrictive than Steve's "if a subject librarian thinks it has value" because they have to demonstrate their value of it by actually including it in a guide.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
