HIT (not): online database overlaps

[Alice Yucht <aliceinfo@EXCITE.COM>]

Last week I asked:
>  Has anyone *already* done a comparison of the subscription titles
available
>  through:
>  --EBSCOhost,
>  --Electric Library, and
>  --ProQuest.
>  I'd like to have a list of which titles are ONLY on which databases, so
that  I can do more targetted searches (when necessary).

Judging by the number of requests for a HIT I got, it's obvious that many of
us would like this answer. .. but nobody else has done it for us yet.

but fear not, faithful LM_Netters: someone has taken up the challenge.
Carol Simpson has persuaded a grad student (ok, so maybe she did some
arm-twisting) that this would be a useful project to do, and a report will
be forthcoming sometime in the future, hopefully before we need to prepare
next year's purchase orders.

Stay tuned. . . . .
