* What I miss most is a much more detailed presentation of the collections available: Which journals can be accessed, and which reference works are a part of the collection? You might like to sort the collections according to the subject field they deal with, e.g. politics, or law, or medicine, or general reference, or general journal archive. A common usecase for a German Wikipedian would be, e.g., to find a list of German-language law journals, or German-language newspapers available in the Wikipedia Library and how to access them. So I imagine a guide according to what you are looking for: Subjects, ebooks or journals or newspapers, full-text or bibliographic database etc. This should be the starting point from a researcher's point of view.--[[User:Aschmidt|Aschmidt]] ([[User talk:Aschmidt|talk]]) 22:19, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
** {{re|Aschmidt}} This is a great point, and something that would unfortunately probably be quite hard for us to maintain. Thankfully, I think the ability to find the kinds of narrow-scoped collections you mentioned can be solved with the [[Library Card platform/Search|search tool]] - there you'd be able to search content that's in particular languages, in specific formats, or on particular topics. Most importantly, EBSCO keep that database up to date for us. Does that sound like it would solve your need here?

*** {{re|Samwalton9 (WMF)}} Yes, it does sound rather good indeed. I'm looking forward to the new search tool! Thanks for your efforts!--[[User:Aschmidt|Aschmidt]] ([[User talk:Aschmidt|talk]]) 18:03, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
:+1 from me. --[[User:Mirer|Mirer]] ([[User talk:Mirer|talk]]) 07:14, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
