New Databases

Since this blog deals with libraries and technology, I want to mention how great useful online databases have become for our small public library. We have recently obtained several databases that provide information to our patrons that we couldn't possibly provide with books. For example, we have access to the Chilton's Automotive Repair Database. This has access to almost any make and model of car within the Chilton's system. Our library couldn't financially afford all those volumes, nor physically store them. So this kind of access is a wonderful contribution of technology.
