When I was in grad school, our library had access to a number of online databases (the usual stuff like Lexis/Nexis but also science-specific/special interest ones). Does it make sense to have a discussion about purchasing membership in some databases of interest/use to the membership for use by the membership collectively? I would imagine there are engineering and other such databases that members might get use from. | When I was in grad school, our library had access to a number of online databases (the usual stuff like Lexis/Nexis but also science-specific/special interest ones).

I have linked http://www.doaj.org/ on the library page since that's free. Some of those databases can be really expensive, especially if they include access to full articles from academic journals. I may do some research on that later, but for right now, I just want to get the checkout system set up. --[[User:Skittles|Skittles]] | |||
I would say that this might be a cool idea, but it's off topic for this vote discussion. Possibly the topic for a different vote proposal if someone does the research. [[User:Justin|Justin]] ([[User talk:Justin|talk]]) 14:24, 12 March 2014 (CDT) | |||

I have been asking the area hosts. I just got the OK to tag the crafts area and the electronics area. I plan to put the red dots on books that shouldn't be checked out without permission. All that information will be on the [[Library/Red Dots|Library Red Dots]] page. --[[User:Skittles|Skittles]] | |||

Skittles already added all books to a database. See [http://www.librarything.com/catalog/Pumpingstationone LibraryThing]. I don't think it tracks checkout / check-in. | |||
