Resource type: database
There is an entry for this under 'Bookmarking', but we would like to have Database as a Resource Type. Academics often want to refe students to resources at the Database level (Westlaw, Land of Lost Content, British Standards)

shared this idea
This is not currently in our near term development focus so it has been moved to the longer term backlog.
Ideas may be graduated from the backlog as we get through the ones that are planned.

I agree with Richard. We are asked to add links to databases with increasing frequency, particularly since Covid happened, and we've focussed much more on online resources for our students to engage with. I think database as a resource type would be less confusing for students than using website which is the only current alternative.

One of our subject librarians also thinks this would be useful
