Greetings,

You may have received a message from EBSCO yesterday about upcoming changes
to their DIY databases (Subject: DIY databases will move to the new Explora
interface).

If you did not, don't worry!  We have you covered.

The migration for the Ohio Web Library is scheduled to take place during
the last week of December.  You don't need to do anything now, but if you
like to plan ahead, here are the two things you will want to do:

   - *Update the names of the resources*
      - Hobbies and Crafts Reference Center => Hobbies and Crafts Source
      - Home Improvement Reference Center  => Home Improvement Source
      - Small Business Reference Center => Small Business Source
   - *Update your marketing pieces as needed*
      -

You should not need to make any updates to your website links, if you are
using the recommended Ohio Web Library URLs:

*Please let us know if you have any questions!* <https://support.oplin.org>

Best wishes,

Christine
