Why don't we try and collect some basic data to compare the
databases?  We could look at price, platforms, quality of
information, timeliness of information, service, etc.

I would suggest that we come up with a scheme where by we could
include factors that would be relevant for different types of
institutions and try a few different types of searches (e.g. a search
for a engineer looking for equipment and a search for a humanist
looking for travel money).

What do you think?  Please suggest things to review or sample
searches.  Volunteers?  If we broke it up it wouldn't take too much time.
