[Wactclc-primo] [External][Wactclc-alma] WSL ProQuest Collections and Alma CZ / PCI cross-walk

[Traci Taylor]

We currently have them in our A-Z Database list, but not in Primo. I don't know that we have ever talked about it, since we migrated to Primo.

I'm curious if other librarians just add everything available through your ProQuest (and Ebsco) package, or if you are selective about what you activate in Primo and promote to students?  Several databases are intended for elementary school students, for example SIRS Discoverer<https://www.proquest.com/products-services/sirs_discoverer.html> (ProQuest) or Primary Search<https://www.ebsco.com/products/research-databases/primary-search> (Ebsco).  While these databases may be useful for some select pre-college type classes, the last time we discussed it at my library we decided to not activate several of them because not want our students potentially using materials from these lower level databases as resources in their college-level research projects.  I let the ESOL and ABE instructors know about the other databases with direct links to them, but never got any feedback about whether they thought they'd be useful.

As a follow-up to the conversation on Tuesday about making sure CZ and PCI activations are up-to-date...

I've tried to come up with a cross-walk table showing the relevant CZ and PCI collections for each of the WSL ProQuest packages.

This table may not be 100% accurate, so I would like for you to share any updates or suggestions regarding this info.
