Spring 2008 Database Trials

Science Trials

Evaluation Packet (PDF) (Please print out before trying the databases).

Submit Your Survey (Please complete after testing all of the trial databases.)

SEMLS is planning to add a database subscription for the region by the end of the fiscal year (June 30.) After conducting a database survey earlier this year, we found that libraries were most interested in subscribing to a science database, followed closely by a health database.

Please help us choose a database by testing the following databases. Use our evaluation packet (PDF) as a guide while evaluating the databases. When you are done, we ask that you submit a database trial survey by May 31, 2008.
