360 KB: Periodicals Archive Online Collection databases from ProQuest: Database Name Change -- February 2026
What is happening to the names of Periodicals Archive Online Collection databases ?
The provider ProQuest has changed the names of Periodicals Archive Online Collection databases.
Therefore, we will be changing the database names in the Knowledgebase. The content of the databases, and the database IDs, will remain the same.
This change will take effect on February 19, 2026:
| DBID | Database Name Before February 19, 2026 | Database Name After February 19, 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| ~OC | Periodicals Archive Online Collection 1 | Periodicals Archive Online Collection 1.1 (Legacy PAL) |
| ~OU | Periodicals Archive Online Collection 2 | Periodicals Archive Online Collection 2.1 (Legacy PAL) |
| ~P3 | Periodicals Archive Online Collection 4 | Periodicals Archive Online Collection 4.1 (Legacy PAL) |
| ~P5 | Periodicals Archive Online Collection 5 | Periodicals Archive Online Collection 5.1 (Legacy PAL) |
| ~P6 | Periodicals Archive Online Collection 6 | Periodicals Archive Online Collection 6.1 (Legacy PAL) |
| ~P8 | Periodicals Archive Online Collection 8 | Periodicals Archive Online Collection 8.1 (Legacy PAL) |
| ~P9 | Periodicals Archive Online Collection 9 | Periodicals Archive Online Collection 9.1 (Legacy PAL) |
| AKNXY | Periodicals Archive Online Collection 4 (2022) | Periodicals Archive Online Collection 4.2 |
| AIATT | Periodicals Archive Online Collection 5 (2022) | Periodicals Archive Online Collection 5.2 |

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 February 19, 2026.
- 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.
