[OPLINTECH] More EBSCO database updates - school reference database changes

[Christine Morris]

Greetings,

You may have received some messages from EBSCO recently about changes to
their school reference databases.  This comes near the conclusion of their
plan for all database migrations
<https://connect.ebsco.com/s/article/New-Reference-Center-User-Experience-Overview-and-Frequently-Asked-Questions>
.

Once again, OPLIN has you covered!

The migration for these titles is underway, and some have already been
completed.  You will be able to see these changes as they roll out on the
Ohio Web Library.

*There are three things you will want to do on your end:*

   - *Update the names of the databases on your website.*
      - Literary Reference Center => Literary Reference Source
      - Points of View Reference Center => Points of View Reference Source
      - Science Reference Center => Science Reference Source
   - *If you have not yet updated the DIY databases that were migrated in
   December, please make sure you do that now, too.*
      - 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:

The last migration we are expecting is Consumer Health Complete, and the
timing of that migration is still TBD.

Please let us know if you have any questions!

Best wishes,

Christine
