[Eril-l] Renaming of PsycINFO on EBSCOhost platform

[Harper, Cynthia]

I've requested that EDS list the titles of EBSCO Religion and Philosophy Collection and Proquest Religion Collection WITH the Vendor name, as I can't remember which is which when just forced to choose between "Religion and Philosophy Collection" and "Religion Collection".

It has not been re-branded as such with ProQuest as of 8:39 a.m. today.

I guess it's a mixture of reminding users that the APA produces the databases, strengthening the APA brand and highlighting that the databases are related to the APA output style for referencing.

I was wondering if anyone knows who or what was behind the recent change in the EBSCOhost platform with the name used for PsycINFO. Until this past week, EBSCOhost presented it as "PsycINFO." Now, it's labeled "APA PscyInfo." A similar change was made to PsycARTICLES (APA PsycArticles) and presumably other APA databases that one can get on the EBSCOhost platform.

Was this change requested by APA? Is the change also present on other platforms where you can get PsycINFO (such as ProQuest)?
