Academic database assessment tool

 http://www.jisc-adat.com/adat/home.pl

The new Academic Database Assessment Tool (ADAT) released by JISC is completely free. You might find that it is of use to eIFL members. They say it "aims to help libraries to make informed decisions about future subscriptions to bibliographic databases. The site provides access to detailed information and title lists for major bibliographic and full text databases, and key service information for database and eBook content platforms. In each case the information has been provided directly by the relevant suppliers and is presented here as a resource to assist librarians in their purchasing decisions. The site provides functionality to compare databases automatically. Any combination of databases can be compared in order to generate lists of relevant titles."
