    Priority:
    Critical
    Services Affected:
    360 Core, 360 Link, 360 MARC Updates, 360 Search, Summon
    Why?
    When a provider makes an update to its platform or to a particular database, you may need to make a change in your Data Management profile or your proxy configuration file. If you do not make these changes, your users could encounter errors or fail to access valuable subscribed content.
    How?
    Watch for the "New! mm/dd/yyy" indicator to appear next to the Knowledgebase Notifications link under Management Tools in the Client Center. This indicator tells you that a recent content change to one or more of your subscribed holdings requires your attention.

    NOTE: Once anyone clicks on the Knowledgebase Notificationsin your Client Center profile, the "New! mm/dd/yyy" indicator is removed until the next time relevant content changes occur.

    You can also subscribe to the 360 KB: Summary of Provider and Database Changesdocument by clicking Follow Me (currently not available) near the top of that page. You will then receive monthly email notifications regarding significant content updates that may require your attention.
