(Beta) AZ List Management: Add and manage recommended databases
The A-Z Database List's Recommended Databases allows you to set up a curated list of databases that you would recommend to your patrons when they don’t know exactly where to start their search.
Once you have added databases to the list, a “Recommended Databases” link will appear under the filters on your public A-Z list. This link will take the users to a standalone public page where your selections will be listed. These databases will have the same configuration as when displayed in the main A-Z list.
Access the Recommended Databases page
After adding one or more recommended databases, the standalone Recommended Databases page will be visible. In addition to accessing the page via the link shown on the public A-Z list, you can also view the page by appending /az/databases/recommended to your LibGuides URL. For example: https://yourlibrary.libguides.com/az/databases/recommended
