From RF:
Cannot get Anthrosource, Anthropological Literature, and Abstracts in Anthropology to work with metalib. The last resource may not be metalib enabled.

http://dl.lib.brown.edu/gateway/lrg.php?id=4&task=db

These databases were switched from a local to the Ex Libris config. Links to categories were changed in the ML Categories Admin and in the metalib, metalib2programs, and metalib_dbs2cats tables.
– Anthropological Literature (BRN02616 -> BRN04401)

At some point the EBSCO hostname:port changed from 204.179.122.51:210 to zgw.ebscohost.com:210
This change was made for Business Source complete but not for other EBSCO databases. On 12/22/09 I changed the hostname:port for the databases below and all are now working again.
– Academic Search Premier
– ATLA Religion Database
– Avery Index to Architectural Periodicals
– CINAHL
– EconLit
– ERIC
– Gender Studies Database
– GeoRef
– Humanities International Database
– LGBT Life
– Library, Information Science
– Military & Government Collection
– MLA Directory of Periodicals
– MLA International Bibliography
– Philosopher’s Index
– PsycArticles
– PsycInfo
– Religion and Philosophy Collection
– Regional Business News
– RILM
– SocIndex with Full Text
These databases were switched from a local to the Ex Libris config. Links to categories were changed in the ML Categories Admin and in the metalib, metalib2programs, and metalib_dbs2cats tables.
– ABSEES (BRN03310 ->BRN03570)
– Environmental Issues & Policy Index (BRN03115 -> BRN03272)
– Global Health (BRN03444 -> BRN05283)
– Index Islamicus (BRN03276 -> BRN04872)
– International Political Science Abstracts (BRN03117 -> BRN04068) (both were activated)
– LGBT Life (BRN03113 -> BRN04003) (both were activated; neither worked)
– MLA Directory of Periodicals (BRN03116 -> BRN04469)
– SocIndex with Full Text (BRN03741 -> BRN03988) (both were activated; neither worked)
These databases were active with no config or not activated at all. The list of current Brown EBSCO subscriptions is at: http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?authtype=ip,uid&profile=ehost
All have now been activated and are cross-searchable.
– Philosopher’s Index (BRN02528 -> BRN04846) (no config)
– PsycCritiques (BRN04848)
Deactivated:
– Pre-CINAHL (Material is now available in CINAHL)
Platform Changed to EBSCO but ML not changed!:
(These are currently not working – note sent to ACN – does vendor need to enable?)
– America: History and Life (from ABC-CLIO) (BRN03721 -> BRN04576)
– Avery Index to Architectural Periodicals (BRN03743 -> BRN04599)
– Historical Abstracts (BRN03720 -> BRN04577)
