<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">We don't have criteria, though honestly, I would like our database management in our AtoZ list to be more centralized. Liaisons are in charge of their "subjects" and though our database page re-make team provided guidelines,
not everyone is following them. </p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">We use LibGuides 2.0 AtoZ database list. Prior to that, we still used LibGuides (1.0), but it more of a home grown system. It worked -- but a lot of resources were added by an earlier LibGuide administrator that had no
business being there, namely, individual journal titles. I think the idea was that this would make it easy for users to find (JAMA for example). I'm not sure why just using our journal AtoZ wasn't good enough, but it wasn't. </p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">In any case, we don't do that now, except for one title (that I'm aware of) that snuck in. I may need to take action on this.

<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><span>We don't normally identify freely available databases as such, but we do include them. Homeland Security Digital Library, ERIC (we also subscribe to it through EBSCO), AGRICOLA, PubMed Central -- usually government
databases. A few I have identified with the OA icon, but I'm also not sure that the public knows what that means yet. It might make a good survey question and opportunity for educating our users. </span></p>
