<br>
If you have some level of comfort working with XML, you may want
to try requesting an XML Export of your entire site (under Modules
-> Images & Backups Module) and then manipulating that to
create a spreadsheet of database links with the URLs, subject
categories, and whatever else you need. Exporting the list limits
you to what Springshare makes available, but once you've got the
XML you have all the information and just have to make sense of
it.<br>
<br>
Making sense of the XML is definitely more easily said than done!
Especially if this is something you might need to do repeatedly,
though, it may be faster in the long run than 807 individual copy
and pastes.<br>
<br>
Good luck!<br>

<div>Hi, <br>
<br>
</div>
Our library uses Libguides to maintain a list of
databases that is searchable and can linked from within
guides. <br>
<br>
</div>
The only difficulty I have noticed is reviewing the list
of databases. If you export the list, the URL and other
defining information including subject categories and
icons that may indicate whether the database is a paid
subscription are not included in the spreadsheet. I've
asked Springshare to upgrade the export to include this
type of information, but I doubt it is a priority for
them. <br>
<br>
A number of years ago, one or more librarians were adding
dozens of free, online resources to our library's database
list. I'm now sifting through a list of several hundred
databases that are not mapped to any guide, meaning they
only appear to library users when they are viewing the
full list of databases alphabetically or are returned as a
search result when some searches the list. In the course
of my review, if I want to link out to the database to
determine whether it should be included in the list of
databases, I have to click an icon, then copy and paste
the URL into a browser window. <br>
<br>
</div>
The public user interface is friendly, but it's taking to
some effort to sift through and narrow our list of 807
"databases."<br>
<br>
</div>
Hope this helps!<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">I am curious to know if any of you
are using libGuides CMS (<a moz-do-not-send="true"

Specifically, is anyone using it to manage their
database listings? We are using LibGuides for guides,
but we use Innovative ERM for database listings, which
means there is a disconnect between updating ERM and
updating the databases the librarians list on their
individual guides.
