    360 KB: ProQuest Historical Newspapers: Boston Globe from ProQuest: Database Name Changes -- April 2023

    What is happening to the name of 2 ProQuest Historical Newspaper: Boston Globe databases?

    The names of 2 ProQuest Historical Newspapers: Boston Globe databases reflect incorrect coverage. Therefore, we will be changing the database names in the Knowledgebase. 

    This change will take effect on April 21, 2023:

     

    Before April 21, 2023 After April 21, 2023 DB Code
    ProQuest Historical Newspapers: Boston Globe (1872-1986) ProQuest Historical Newspapers: Boston Globe (1872-1991) 88P
    ProQuest Historical Newspapers: Boston Globe ProQuest Historical Newspapers: Boston Globe (1872-1927) DN6

     

     

    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 April 21, 2023.
    • 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.
