 Electronic
Resource Discovery and Management Service

for their electronic journals and databases. Gold Rush is a Web-based
central digital registry of databases and electronic journals (both
stand-alone and titles embedded within aggregated services). The service
is centrally maintained and requires no programming or technical expertise
at participating libraries.
