<p class="MsoNormal">For those of you who help gather the stats for your library’s ACRL report (or IPEDS), how do you calculate the number of electronic databases your library offers? In the past I have manually counted from our A-Z list. Our A-Z list breaks
out ProQuest and Ebsco databases into their many unique pieces because those pieces can be searched independently (or altogether), but we only count ScienceDirect and JSTOR as single databases because their multiple pieces can’t be broken out for search, independently.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This year I am switching to going off of my active collections list in Alma because it also contains all of the open access collections that I have activated for search in Primo, which the instructions say to include. However, ScienceDirect
and JSTOR are actually broken out into their multiple pieces on my Alma list. I’m curious if you have JSTOR, for example, do you count it as a single database? Or as it’s multiple parts (we subscribe to 7 parts)? Thanks!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any other related thoughts?<o:p></o:p></p>
