Adding a Database Description

You can add a database description to a search source to provide library patrons with additional information about the search source.

NOTE: You must be logged in as a Customer SuperUser or Library SuperUser to add database descriptions to system-level resources. Library SuperUsers and PAC Staff members can add database descriptions to resources defined at the local level.

To add a database description:

1. Access the Search Resources screen (see Viewing Search Resources for details).
2. Click the Edit link to the right of the resource to which you wish to add a database description.
   • The Resource Configuration screen displays.
3. Scroll down to the Define Resource description field.
4. Enter the desired text for the database description in the Resource Description text box. The Resource Description can be a maximum of 256 characters, including spaces.

   NOTE: HTML is not allowed for database descriptions.

5. Select the Mouse over text radio button to display the description as mouse-over text, or select the As description following the name of the resource radio button to have the description display immediately following the resource name on the Resources menu.
6. When all desired information has been entered, click the Submit button to save the Database Description.
