Therefore, we will be changing the title-level linking syntax in the Knowledgebase. The content of the database will remain the same.
This change will take effect on December 5:
- Before December 5: http://find.galegroup.com/
- After December 5: http://link.galegroup.com/
Actions you may need to take:
- Make sure that either http://link.galegroup.com/ or *galegroup.com is included in your proxy configuration before December 5.
- 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 December 5.
