    360 KB: Newspapers.com World Collection from ProQuest: Database Name Change -- December 2020

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

    The provider ProQuest has updated the name of database Newspapers.com World Collection to more accurately align with the product.

    Therefore, we will be changing the database name in the Knowledgebase. The content of the database, and the database ID (BFVDV), will remain the same.

    This change will take effect on December 23, 2020:

    • Before December 23: Newspapers.com World Collection
    • After December 23: Newspapers.com Library Edition - 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 December 23.
    • 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.
