    What is happening to the databases for C.H. Beck Journals?

    In order to maintain accurate and authoritative provider metadata (based on the 360 KB collection policy, all titles will be removed from C.H. Beck Journals database from provider MetaPress and the database will be hidden in 360 KB [Note: DBID is FS1].

    The migration and linking syntax change will be effective March 27.

    C.H. Beck Journals [DBID: FS1] from provider MetaPress will be hidden and all titles will be removed

    Actions you may need to take:

    • If you are a 360 MARC Updates client and have requested the custom specification that adds direct URLs to MARC records, you can expect to see some change records when you get your MARC records after March 27.
    • 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.
