360 KB: The name of some EBSCOhost databases: Database Name Change -- February 2024
What is happening to the name of some EBSCOhost databases?
The provider EBSCOhost has changed the name of some databases. Therefore, we will be changing the databases' name in the Knowledgebase. The content of the databases, and their database IDs, will remain the same.
This change will take effect on February 24, 2024:
| Database Name before February 24, 2024 | Database Name after February 24, 2024 | Database Code |
|---|---|---|
| Hobbies & Crafts Reference Center | Hobbies & Crafts Source | SRE |
| Home Improvement Reference Center | Home Improvement Source | EXN |
| EBSCOhost Legal Information Reference Center | Legal Information Source | 6MV |
| EBSCOhost Small Business Reference Center | Small Business Source | 6LS |
| Small Engine Repair Reference Center | Small Engine Repair Source | EYH |
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 24, 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.
