http://libraryonline.nd.edu.au/ Some schools have more than one subject guide attached, as you can see by the numbers, e.g. Arts & Sciences has 9 subject guides under it. On our library homepage we have another quick link that goes to our eResources list, which has a list of all our subject guides in the left hand pane: http://library.nd.edu.au/home/eresources Patricia Farnan | Application Administrator, Discovery Services University Library | St Teresa’s Library Telephone: +61 8 9433 0707 | Email: patricia.far...@nd.edu.au -----Original Message----- From: Code for Libraries [mailto:CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU] On Behalf Of Shirley Lincicum Sent: Friday, 18 March 2016 4:55 AM To: CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] List of Database Subjects The reality is that to do a really good job of driving users to the available resources, you need to categorize databases by both subjects AND departments/courses. These are overlapping but distinct facets that reflect different ways that users can approach locating resources relevant to their needs. Shirley On Thu, Mar 17, 2016 at 1:25 PM, Stuart A.
