360 KB: All Databases from Chandos and Woodhead Publishing: Database Migration -- Dec 2014

What is happening to the databases from Chandos and Woodhead Publishing?

All of the databases from the providers Chandos and Woodhead Publishing have moved titles to the Elsevier ScienceDirect platform.

In order to maintain accurate and authoritative provider metadata (based on the 360 KB collection policy), all titles will be removed from the Chandos and Woodhead databases in 360 KB on December 29. Those databases will become zero-titles databases.

Therefore, we have created new databases in the 360 KB knowledgebase under provider Elsevier.

See the mapping of Chandos and Woodhead Publishing databases to new Elsevier databases in the linked spreadsheet here.

Action you need to take:

• Once the above change takes effect, update your Data Management by subscribing to the new database instead of the old database.  Information is available here regarding how to update Data Management, and 360 Resource Manager and 360 Counter considerations prior to removing the old database from your profile.
• If you are a 360 MARC Updates client and have requested the custom specification that adds direct URLs or database specific information to MARC records, you can expect to see some change records when you get your MARC records after December 29.
