50-State subject database guides - what next?
Submitted by dcornwall on Fri, 2007-11-30 21:47.
Recently, the 50-State Agency Database Registry produced an annotated list of searchable inmate locaters. Many states have databases on many given subjects, so the volunteer staff of the Database Register is interested in expanding the offerings on our subject-focused databases page.
We (the Registry volunteers) would like to do this with subjects of interest to the community. So tell us what we should do next, either by leaving comments here or by participating in a brief poll on the main page of the State Agency Database Highlights blog at http://statedatabase.blogspot.com.
For databases from the 50 states, please see the 50-State Agency Database Registry

subject focused databases
What about compiling a list of state agency databases containing environmental impact statements? The Environmental Quality Council in Montana has such a database at http://leg.mt.gov/css/lepo/mepa/mepa.asp#results
building custom search engines
Subject-based databases are a great idea. And they're incredibly easy to build with Google Custom Search Engine (CSE) service. GODORT's International Documents Taskforce (IDTF) recently built one for IGOs and are in the process of one for NGOs.
