What is happening to some SAGE Publications databases?

The provider SAGE Publications confirmed that some of its databases are no longer being updated. In order to maintain accurate and authoritative provider metadata (based on our Knowledgebase collection policy), all titles will be removed from the databases and the databases will be hidden in the Knowledgebase on July 18,2024. The databases will become a zero-titles database, and no future subscriptions will be possible.

please find in attached file the full list of databases which will be removed.

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 July 18,2024.
• 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.
