360 KB: Reference Center databases from Ebsco: Database Name Change -- March 2024

What is happening to the name of the Reference Center databases?

The provider Ebsco has changed the name of Some Reference Center databases

Therefore, we will be changing the database name in the Knowledgebase. The content of the database, and the database ID, will remain the same.

This change will take effect on April 8, 2024:

Database Code	Database Name Before April 8, 2024	Database Name After April 8, 2024
ESN	Science Reference Center	Science Reference Source
ELX	Points of View Reference Center	Points of View Reference Source
ERH	History Reference Center	History Reference Source
49.	Science Reference Center eBook Collection	Science Reference Source eBook Collection
34I	Biography Reference Center	Biography Reference Source
3LD	Literary Reference Center Plus	Literary Reference Plus

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 [effective date].
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.
