<p class="MsoNormal">This is a really great question! When I first set it up, I focused specifically on resources my campus subscribed to, and to databases. As we have gone along, I’ve loosened that up a great deal, including links to other campuses of the
university, added databases that our residents and faculty have credentials to but are not paid for at this campus, added a DOI search, a link to Browzine, links to key LibGuides, and other resources. I feel like defining what the A-Z list is for broadly
has been very helpful to us. <o:p></o:p></p>
