Creating Boxes and Content: Use The Right Tool For the Job

  • Deleting databases to which we no longer subscribe:
    • Database assets will be removed for all instances of that database from the guides
    • Elizabeth will notify reference of the deletion.
    • For all questions regarding databases and libguides, contact Elizabeth
  • Replacing databases no longer subscribed to with a new similar database:
    • When the old database is deleted, a list of the guides in which that database was used will be sent to reference.  Reference will then decide where to place the replacement database and make those additions.
  • Deleting a Guide:
    • When a guide is deleted, its assets are not.  Therefore, the Assets List should be routinely checked for assets that are no longer being used (indicated by 0 instances of use).  These assets should be deleted from the Assets List.
