he Academic Database Assessment Tool (Adat) is designed to help libraries make informed decisions about future subscriptions to online resources. It provides access to detail information and title lists from a number of bibliographic databases owned by publishers and content suppliers. By using Adat, librarians can quickly compare and contrast key items to help them decide which online resources to purchase. These include: a list of titles included in each database; search features available; linking methods, such as full text linking; metadata standards and methods of access provided to these resources, such as IP access. The dbase is sponsored by IBSS, ProQuest, Scopus, Engineering Village and EMBASE (Elsevier), Thomson Scientific. Email alerts are available.
