Greetings!

We are considering linking our catalogue holdings to databases such as
EbscoHost.  We have several databases which we feel would be more useful if
linked to the library holdings.  However, before we embark on such a
venture we have several questions to which we would appreciate an answer.

1.  Do you link your library holdings to any commercial databases?
2.  If you do how many databses are linked to your library holdings?
3.  Which databases do you link?
4.  How do you maintain the currency of your links?
5.  What advice do you have for us?

Thank you.
