At UNDA we have a link on our homepage (quick links) to our Subject Guides. These are based on the Schools we have:

http://libraryonline.nd.edu.au/

Some schools have more than one subject guide attached, as you can see by the numbers, e.g. Arts & Sciences has 9 subject guides under it.

On our library homepage we have another quick link that goes to our eResources list, which has a list of all our subject guides in the left hand pane:

Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] List of Database Subjects

The reality is that to do a really good job of driving users to the available resources, you need to categorize databases by both subjects AND departments/courses. These are overlapping but distinct facets that reflect different ways that users can approach locating resources relevant to their needs.
