360 KB: eJournals Collections from Emerald: Database Name Changes -- September 2017
What is happening to the names of the Emerald eJournals Collections databases?
The provider Emerald has informed us that they do not sell yearly collections for the eJournals Collections databases.
Therefore, we will be changing the database names of the following collections in the Knowledgebase to remove the 2013 year. The content of these databases, and the database IDs ([DBIDs]), will remain the same.
This change will take effect on September 11, 2017:
| Database Code | Database Name before September 11 | Database Name after September 11 |
| .WS | Emerald Business, Management and Strategy eJournal Collection 2013 | Emerald Business, Management and Strategy eJournal Collection |

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 11, 2017.
- 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.
