New look for Databases A-Z page

The Databases A-Z page has a slightly new look. This includes branding logos on the databases and a wider layout. The Search boxes have also been simplified.  The library hopes that you will find this a little easier to navigate.

Featured databases appear down the right-hand side of the page, followed by recently added databases.

An explanation of the various icons used alongside the database titles is added to the bottom of the right-hand column.

If you have any questions, please email libadmin@unitec.ac.nz.

(This change is part of the move to bootstrap 5 for the library website layout.)
