Those changes will take effect on September 14, 2024
Actions you may need to take:
- 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 databases names to function, you should note the change in ProQuest's databases names in order to retain the proper relationship/mapping between those tools.
