[Yulpub] alternative links to MetaLib from "Databases & Article Searching"

[Julie Linden]

Dear colleagues,

A couple of weeks ago I solicited your opinions on a draft "Databases & 
Article Searching" page that linked to MetaLib. A suggestion was made to 
provide on the Databases & Article Searching page all three of the links 
that are found on the MetaLib entry page: QuickStart, MultiDatabase 
Search, and Login. These links would be presented instead of a single link 
to the MetaLib entry page and would therefore reduce the number of clicks 
it takes to get into MetaLib.

I have drafted a page in response to this suggestion, and ask you all to 
comment on it as compared to the draft I circulated earlier:

1) Page with three MetaLib links: 
http://www.library.yale.edu/databases/indexml2.html

2) Page with single MetaLib link:
http://www.library.yale.edu/databases/indexml.html

MetaLib is going into production on Monday, June 6, so we will need to 
modify the Databases & Article Searching page one way or the other by 
Monday. Comments are welcome thereafter, of course; how we link to MetaLib 
from Databases & Article Searching can certainly change in response to 
staff and reader feedback.

Thanks for considering,

Julie
