What is happening to the names of databases?

The databases from the provider Wanfang Data Co,. Ltd. are named incorrectly: there is no difference between inside and outside China.

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 September 29, 2024:

• Database Code	Old Database Name	New Database Name
  ACCLX	Academic Conferences in China (Arts/Humanities/Social Sciences) (Mainland China Only)	Academic Conferences in China (Arts/Humanities/Social Sciences)
  XR3	中国学术会议论文全文数据库(China Academic Conference Proceedings Database, CACP) (Mainland China Only)	中国学术会议论文全文数据库(China Academic Conference Proceedings Database, CACP)
  MQP	Dissertations of China (Mainland China Only)	Dissertations of China

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 September 29, 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.
