360 KB: Research Source databases from AM (Adam Matthew): Database Name Change -- June 2023

What is happening to the names of Research Source databases?

The provider AM (Adam Matthew) has changed the names of Research Source databases.

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 June 16, 2023:

AFCSG	Research Source- Area Studies: China	AM Scholar: Area Studies China and Southeast Asia

BDDAZ	Research Source- Literary Studies	AM Scholar: Literary Studies
BJKCY	Research Source- Medieval and Early Modern Studies	AM Scholar: Medieval and Early Modern Studies

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 June 16, 2023.
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.
