Question: What is happening to the Royal Society collections in 360 KB?

Answer: 

In response to numerous customer requests the Royal Society targets will be revamped in 360KB 

The objective is to reflect Royal Society's complex sales model outlined at: https://royalsociety.org/journals/free-content/

but also offer customers a simple activation option.

ROYAL_SOCIETY_PUBLISHING  will be renamed ROYAL_SOCIETY_PUBLISHING_PAID [RRY].  Note that the update will lead to a reduction in the number of portfolios. It is recommended that libraries that activate ROYAL_SOCIETY_PUBLISHING_PAID, also activate ROYAL_SOCIETY_PUBLICATIONS_FREE [ICLEN].  This configuration will provide access to both the paid and the free content with complete coverage details.

Alternatively, subscribers have the option of activating ROYAL_SOCIETY_PACKAGE_S [V1E] which includes all paid and free Royal Society content.  This target is slated to be revised shortly. In its revised format, it will display a single continuous threshold for each title and will not differentiate between paid and free content.

In addition, all customers are encouraged to activate ROYAL_SOCIETY_OPEN_ACCESS_JOURNALS [OP1hich provides access to the fully Open Access journals.
