Talk:List of bibliographic databases

So far this is a list of vendors, not databases. There is a difference between the vendor or platform and the indexes that they offered. Oftentimes a given database can be offered by different vendors. This needs to be started over. Rlitwin 15:12, 2 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Yeah sorry about that, I have deleted it. I'll let someone who knows what they are talking about start it.--Commander Keane 19:37, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I created a page instead of a category. Wax Tablet 07:14, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Databases or vendors?
As was said above a couple of months ago, this is in fact mostly a list of vendors rather than of databases. For example, Ovid Technologies is not a database. In a list of databases I would expect to see medline, embase, cab abstracts, eric, cinahl etc - not ovid, csa, ebsco. This needs addressing. Maybe best split into two articles, List of bibliographic databases and List of bibliographic database providers? Gnusmas 10:30, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

please ask first.
I have centraized further discussion on the redirect that has just vandalized the list, on the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Academic_databases_and_search_engines page. DGG 02:08, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
