I would suggest that the best subject list for database list might be the
list of departments and or faculties you have on campus.
That's how we chose to express our subject areas (
http://leddy.uwindsor.ca/research-tools)
Our reasoning was largely based on this paper, "Students, Librarians, and
Subject Guides: Improving a Poor Rate of Return" by Brenda Reeb and Susan
Gibbons (
http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/portal_libraries_and_the_academy/v004/4.1reeb.html)
who suggest that students have a hard time mapping research topics to
subjects and so ideally, our databases / subject guides should be mapped at
a course level. That was considered too much for us, so we map to the
Department level instead.
