Qwest TV in Alexander street
Hello,
Qwest tv is migrating to Alexander Street 8/31. It is available now from June-August. Will you be adding the new ASP interface to Alma? We only see one database with the interface Qwest Tv,Collection ID: 615300000000000195We do see this selective package: Music Online: The Qwest TV Collection - All Titles, but it says Music Online and the title count looks low compared to the 1000+ titles in the Qwest collection. Is this the replacement option?

New Database Request - Oxford University Press:Jisc Collections:OUP Oxford Journals Archive (2024-2025 Access Period) - 360 KB
A new Jisc agreement has been released for Oxford University Press Archive Journals covering 2024-2025. We therefore need a new database in 360 KB to reflect the current collection and replace the now out-of-date database that covered the 2020-2023 agreement [Oxford University Press:Jisc Collections:OUP Oxford Journals Archive (2020-23 Access Period) (AGKRT)]
We also need article-level linking for the new database collection. Database - Oxford University Press Journals All Titles (1996-Current) (ROX) has article level linking in place and the platform has not changed so the same linking principles should still apply.
1 voteHello,
This collection is available:

Article level linking should be available by end of July.

Please add CDI coverage for ProQuest Historical Newspapers: The Baltimore Afro-American (All Years) Collection ID: 614940000000000323. This collection currently covers 1893-2010.
There is existing Link in record coverage for ProQuest Historical Newspapers: The Baltimore Afro-American (1893-1988) Collection ID: 614340000000000184, but it doesn't cover the full range of dates we are subscribed to and doesn't actually seem to be indexing any articles.

https://www.bloomsburyprofessionalonline.com/bpro/page/All%20Content%20(Unauth)/all-content
The last update to this database on 360KB has been in 2020. It currently only includes 4 titles on 360KB, one of which (Medicine, Ethics and the Law) we don't subscribe to. (For some reason, we cannot select "We subscribe to only some of the titles in this database" tickbox for this database on 360KB to untrack this title or hide it from Summon.)
We're particularly looking for an inclusion of the subsection 'International Tax Service' (9 titles) to make these discoverable to our users.
