Home page

- No, the guide list isn't a widget.
- Pull-down for "Alphabetical" / "Most popular": Get rid of it

- "Find research guides created by Yale University Library Staff. Browse through the categories below." -- from Cornell University
- Keep Databases A-Z
General Research Tools

- Emily wants it for undergraduates
- Contact Emily and find out what she'd like to call it from an undergraduate perspective
- "Citation Management" guide is called "Citation Tools" in the YUL header "Services" pull-down main menu
