    360 KB: Selected Video Collections from Alexander Street Press: Database Migrations and Name Changes -- April 2018

     

    What is happening to a number of video collections from Alexander Street Press?

    Certain collections from Alexander Street Press are no longer available, as they are instead being provided via regional collections, or in some cases already existing collections are being redefined.  

    In order to maintain accurate and authoritative provider metadata (based on the Knowledgebase collection policy), these zero-title databases have been hidden with immediate effect. New, regional zero-title collections are available; see below for old and new database names and codes:
