Abstract

Database lists, frequently presented on Databases A to Z and subject pages, are a long-standing component of a library’s web presence. Tools for producing and managing the list are frequently a part of a more comprehensive library technology, such as electronic resource management (ERM) systems, integrated library system-ERMS, and content management systems such as LibGuides. Published literature provides good coverage of these technologies, but pays little attention to functionality for database list management. This article illustrates A to Z database list evolution from 1999 to 2017 by way of manifestations at the University of Central Florida Library, conceptualizes database list systems and functions, presents findings from a survey, and shares tips and practical considerations for producing and managing database lists.
