    360 KB: Newspapers.com from ProQuest: Database Name Change -- December 2018

    What is happening to the name of database Newspapers.com?

    The database Newspapers.com from the provider ProQuest is named rather vaguely.

    Therefore, we will be changing the database name in the Knowledgebase to more closely align with the content provider's name for the collection. The content of the database, and the database ID (BFVDV), will remain the same.

    This change will take effect on 20 December:

    • Before 20 December: Newspapers.com
    • After 20 December: Newspapers.com World Collection

    Actions you may need to take:

    • If you are a 360 MARC Updates client and have requested the custom specification that adds the database name as it appears in the Client Center/Intota to MARC records, you can expect to see some change records when you get your MARC records after 20 December.
    • If your library uses a third-party service (such as EBSCO A-Z, etc.), custom scripts to manage data, or other non-ProQuest tools that require the database name to function, you should note the change in ProQuest's database name in order to retain the proper relationship/mapping between those tools.
