    360 KB: Patron-Driven Acquisition from Alexander Street: Database Name Changes -- August 2021

    What is happening to the name of Alexander Street's Patron-Driven Acquisition databases?

    Alexander Street renamed "Patron-Driven Acquisition" to "Demand-Driven Acquisition." Therefore, we are updating the names of the Alexander Street databases in the Knowledgebase to reflect this change. The content of the databases, and the database IDs, will remain the same.

    This change will take effect on August 11, 2021:

    DB code DB name before August 11 DB name after August 11
    ACJSJ Patron Driven Acquisition (All Titles) Demand-Driven Acquisition
    AAKPE Patron Driven Acquisition Exclusive Content (Australia) Demand-Driven Acquisition, Select (Australia)
    AAOQY Patron Driven Acquisition Exclusive Content (Canada) Demand-Driven Acquisition, Select (Canada)
    AFXZU Patron Driven Acquisition Exclusive Content (China) Demand-Driven Acquisition, Select (China)
    ABHEW Patron Driven Acquisition Exclusive Content (Outside North America) Demand-Driven Acquisition, Select (Outside North America)
    AJUJY Patron Driven Acquisition Exclusive Content (United States) Demand-Driven Acquisition, Select (United States)
    AAJTS Patron Driven Acquisition Feature Film (Australia) Demand-Driven Acquisition, Feature Film (Australia)
    AMYWR Patron Driven Acquisition Feature Film (Canada) Demand-Driven Acquisition, Feature Film (Canada)
    AGXQT Patron Driven Acquisition Feature Film (China Demand-Driven Acquisition, Feature Film (China)
    AARGA Patron Driven Acquisition Feature Film (Outside North America) Demand-Driven Acquisition, Feature Film (Outside North America)
    AGACT Patron Driven Acquisition Feature Film (United States) Demand-Driven Acquisition, Feature Film (United States)

     

    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 August 11, 2021.
    • 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.
