I like the terminology of Manual vs. Mini Books.

"Mini Books" doesn't tell me much -- I suggest maybe just calling them "Manuals" or "Topic-specific Manuals" or the like? The classic consolidated manuals could then end up at the bottom of the list, e.g., something like this:

Evergreen 3.0 - Manuals

* Acquisitions (HTML) (PDF) (ePub)
* Cataloging (HTML) (PDF) (ePub)
* Circulation (HTML) (PDF) (ePub)
* Command line admin (HTML) (PDF) (ePub)
* Integrating with other tools (HTML) (PDF) (ePub)
* OPAC (HTML) (PDF) (ePub)
* Serials (HTML) (PDF) (ePub)
* Staff client admin (HTML) (PDF) (ePub)
* Consolidated manual (HTML) (PDF) (ePub)

On a completely different note, I noticed just now that the consolidated manuals for 3.0 and master are still incorporating the
2.12 release notes, not the 3.0 ones.

Regards,

Galen
