John distributed a printout of the current research databases page, along with lists of proposed subject headers and material-type headers. John asked that the information be submitted to him electronically by May 22. These lists will be compiled, collated, and reviewed. Then the headers will be added to the Acorn record for each database.
Directors can suggest additional subject headings or sub-headings.
Terminology for material types that will display to the public is still under consideration. Pauline Aranas asked how general databases should be indexed. John also noted that there is nothing to prevent every subject heading from being attached to a general database like ProQuest. Flo Wilson asked whether electronic resources not on the Web page might also be included in these subject headings. She also asked how the current alphabetical list of these resources would be maintained and whether additional tags would be needed to make this possible.
