360 KB: Springer Nature Link eBooks and Journals databases from Springer Nature: Database Name Change -- March 2025
What is happening to the names of some Springer Nature Link eBooks and Journals databases?
We are updating 3 database names from the provider Springer Nature to better match the provider product names.
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 March 3, 2025:
| DBCode | Database Name Before March 3, 2025 | Database Name After March 3, 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| AALJR | Springer Nature - SpringerLink eBooks - Fully Open Access | Springer Nature - Springer Nature Link eBooks - Fully Open Access |
| ACULB | Springer Nature - SpringerLink Journals - Fully Open Access | Springer Nature - Springer Nature Link Journals - Fully Open Access |
| ABEEZ | Springer Nature - SpringerLink Journals and eBooks - Fully Open Access | Springer Nature - Springer Nature Link Journals and eBooks - Fully Open Access |
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 March 3, 2025.
- 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.
