A little discussion going on in the comments after Jessica's post -- what the heck do you call the databases? Here's what some of the others call it:
Arlington - eSources (Databases & More)
Denver - Research Resources
Hennepin - Databases
Phoenix - Databases & Websites
Seattle - Databases & Websites
Hmmm, nothing truly revolutionary here.
When you click "Subject Guides" on the Hennepin site, you go to a page that is actually called Reference & Research. It includes a link to the A-Z database listing, catalog, a subject guide that includes databases and websites, and a handy-dandy Magazine & Newspaper search that lets you choose online, print or both. Sweet! If only they included their ebooks.
They still end up with the dreaded "database" term, but when it is presented from within the reference and research section, it may be a little less confusing.
