The elimination of the AMA Journals from the Mead Database is one of the
reasons
that Law Libraries are skeptical about relying upon the databases as
their primary resource of information. Such actions insure the continued
role of libraries as not only information resources but book warehouse
facilities. The transitory nature of some of the databases makes the
inclusion of the databases on the library's OPAC difficult to justify
because of the maintenance of the OPAC. It deprives users of positive
access to the databases and Reference personnel of a jog to their memory
of the not so obvious resources on-line.
