Database use in libraries
I presume many of you are familiar with paid library databases such as

ABI/Inform - Business

Academic Search - General (Multidisciplinary)

JSTOR General - (Multidisciplinary)

LEXISNEXIS - Academic News

PsycINFO - Psychology

PubMed/Medline - Medicine

ScienceDirect - Science (Multidisciplinary)

Scopus - General (Multidisciplinary)

Web of Science - General (Multidisciplinary) 

The comprehensive list of purchase-able databases is too large to list here.  I also presume you are aware of at least some of the public resources available such as those listed below. If not, these you may want to puruse as they are open access (free and accessible to all):
