New Look for the Ball State University Libraries Databases Page

The databases page has several new features which are designed to assist the user in identifying databases for their research need. Tabs have been added which allows users to navigate between database lists. There is a General tab which includes multidisciplinary databases, i.e. those that cover many subjects. The Subject tab displays databases on each of 15 subjects. The All tab is an A-Z list of all of our databases. The Reference tabs lists databases whose content is primarily dictionaries, encyclopedias, biographical information, etc. The Subject and General tabs feature a list of frequently used databases. A link to our chat service has been added as well.
