[Libs-Or] Update about Transition from BCRC to BI:E (Gale)

[Jennifer Maurer]

Disclaimer: This could be confusing, despite efforts to be clear. ☺

Business Insights: Essential, which is the redesigned Business & Company Resource Center, launched in early July, but the automatic redirect to the new URL is not yet functional. If you chose to update the database URL listed on your library or consortium’s website (see the email from June 25th below), your patrons will get to Business Insights: Essential. If you chose to leave the Business & Company Resource Center URL in place and rely on the automatic redirect, your patrons will not get to Business Insights: Essential until the redirect works (but they will get to BCRC). Gale expects the automatic redirect to be functional within a few weeks and will alert me when it’s working.

The Gale support sites for Oregon library staff list your library’s URLs for both BCRC and BI:E. Once the automatic redirect is functional, a Gale rep will remove the URL for BCRC.

With Oregon accounts being transitioned from Business & Company Resource Center to Business Insights: Essential on July 2nd, I’ve been asked if the URL for that Gale database will need to be updated on library websites. The URL will change, but the old URL will redirect to the new one. A Gale rep said that by July 2nd, or not long after, he will update the BCRC URL on the Gale support sites for Oregon library staff. If you want to update the BCRC/BI:E URL on your library or consortium’s website, you are welcome to do so, but it’s not a requirement.
