<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">I’m not sure I understand the reasoning behind not including every collection in the A-Z list. As an end user, if my instructor highlights a particular collection/resource, I expect to be able
to find it from the catalog/library web site. If I’m looking for resources on a topic, I expect that every resource available on that topic is listed. Similarly, I don’t understand the logic behind not including links to all ebooks in a subscription full-text
package. PQ Literature One has a lot of classics in ebook form, but we don’t necessarily include the records in our catalog. As an end user, if I want to access a title, I search the catalog – if it’s not there, I presume access is not available. I would
not think to look into every literature collection searching out that title. <o:p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">I can understand that a subject/course-oriented LibGuide would not necessarily every single collection that may have relevant content. The LibGuide is meant to be selective, although it would
be nice to be able to easily link to a list of all relevant resources (e.g., a comprehensive subject list of all resources relevant to any one subject). If the concern is that such a list is overwhelming, perhaps a short list could be highlighted, followed
by the complete list. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">We are also in the process of updating our A-Z list. We list mostly everything we subscribe to/pay for as well as a few open access resources, but we are also not exhaustive about these and may end up eliminating them

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">One constant challenge I am curious about is how others handle collections from Gale. We currently have 200 databases in our A-Z list and nearly 70 are from Gale. We don't even include all the sub-collections in Archives
Unbound. It is a lot to maintain and while listing all of them versus just some seems to be easier for tracking, I know many are not used and am tempted to hide them at the least. There is also the challenge of the periodic database name change and the maintenance
that comes with that. If others have an approach to these collections, it would be great to hear.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

(Large database vendors are pretty good about stable URLs and forwarding old URLs, but some of the smaller places... oy vey!). We get most of our databases as part of a package deal from the Texas State Libraries and Archives Commission, so I monitor their
