360 KB: Scholar Portal databases: Databases Names Change -- September 2024
What is happening to the names of the Scholar Portal databases?
The provider Scholar Portals has decided to rename 2 of it collections.
Therefore, we will be changing the databases names in the Knowledgebase. The content of the databases, and their databases ID's, will remain the same.
Those changes will take effect on September 25, 2024:
| DB ID | Current Collection Name | New Colletion Name |
| M45 | Scholars Portal Journals: IOP | Scholars Portal Journals: IOP Current |
| LW7 | Scholars Portal Journals: Cambridge | Scholars Portal Journals: Cambridge Current |
Actions you may need to take:
- If you are a 360 MARC Updates client and have requested the custom specification that adds the databases names as they appear in the Client Center/Intota to MARC records, you can expect to see some change records when you get your MARC records after September 25, 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 databases names to function, you should note the changes in ProQuest's databases names in order to retain the proper relationship/mapping between those tools.
