360 KB: JISC databases: Databases Name Change -- May 2024

What is happening to the name of some JISC databases?

KB+ services withdrew on February 16^th, 2024, and the JISC content will be moving to a new platform.

Therefore, we will be changing the names of some of the JISC databases in the Knowledgebase, to match the current JISC database name. The content of the databases, and the databases ID, will remain the same.

In addition, we will be moving all of JISC databases under the JISC provider.

These changes will take effect on May 1, 2024.

Please find in attached file the full list of databases which will be renamed and/or moved under the JISC provider. 

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 May 1, 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.
