Potentials of Dynamic Database-Driven Web Sites

With more and more resources available through the Internet, the process of providing quick, easy, accurate access to these resources can be a daunting, overwhelming, time-consuming prospect. URLs change without notice, database providers add and delete journal titles, and our customers expect service 24/7. Database-driven web sites address this problem as they simplify access to the resources provided by your library. They are easy to maintain and update, provide an efficient means to eliminate errors over multiple web pages, as well as, a 

means for fast, efficient searching. With that in mind, the librarians at Dowling College have developed the Journal Locator and Database Locator. The Journal Locator provides a dynamic listing of every access point we have for a journal title, whether through an aggregator database or physically within the library.
