UNC Libraries’ User Experience department migrated the library’s 1,200-plus databases from a 15-year old, custom- developed, in-house system to the LibGuides A–Z Database List. Arnold shares key usability study findings of the database listings before and after the migration, lessons learned during the migration, and best practices for managing a project of this size with multiple stakeholders across the library’s departments. Find out whether or not your website should take users directly to an e-resource when they click on the link to it or show them an intermediary database page providing log in and other user information.
