Librarian in Black Blog – Sarah Houghton

There’s a PC Magazine article letting folks know of all the cool-io online resources, beyond the web in general, that libraries make available to their patrons. Nice. Hey, what does your library call its databases? Online Resources? Databases? Online Informational Sources? Research Resources? There is absolutely no agreement in the field on what to call these durn things. One would think that, by now, we would have come up with something that both described the resources and that patrons could understand. If anyone has a brilliant suggestion from on-high, please, do share.
