There is some unfortunate irony that the Alternative Text field in LibGuides is a single line rather than a paragraph text field, and therefore is mildly difficult to read when the text runs longer than the field will display.

Those who use Google Drive more than me, is there a way to add a weblink/URL directly in a folder? Microsoft doesn't get much right over Google in collaborative software, but this may be one of the few exceptions

This is the layout I would use. Not done for each database yet, but I can see a lot of utility to this.

Not that this is a reasonable or viable soultion, but I did remember Word (and Google docs) have uppercase formatting. Would be more of a pain than just having Caps Lock functionality back, but it is available

this is the current iteration I have with my documentation. I will likely remove color coding before I submit it, but more or less I think the structure will stay the same. Full search is very long, so I just included the beginning 🙂 happy to share the full one out if others are interested.

#medlibs - do you document and describe the field codes and syntax you use in your reported searches, in addition to the search strings themselves? I have started doing this to remove confusion should field codes and database documentation change over time.
