[Eril-l] Database A-Z list options

[Melissa Belvadi]

Our website is Drupal and we aren't Libguides customers, so we use features
of Drupal to create a "database of databases" that includes an A-to-Z
"view" (Drupal jargon) of all databases.
We can also use this to create various subject-specific lists of databases,
by using Drupal "content types" and "taxonomy" features. Combining content
types, taxonomies, and views, you can do a lot of clever things in Drupal.
We have a "bento box" style search feature on our home page, and one of the
result boxes is specifically results from the Database "content type".
