Editing the base resource for subscription resources may cascade unwanted changes to subject guides on which it appears. Additionally, since authors cannot make changes to others’ subject guides, needed changes may not cascade to pages on which the resource appears, or to the Database Details page.
Please only make changes to the instance on the subject guides that you author. See image:
An easy way to determine if a resource is a subscription resource is if it includes a proxy prefix in the URL. See image:
If you are making a change to the base resource for a non-subscription resource that occurs on several pages,
1) Search for the resource:
2) Do a Drilldown:
3) And contact the author of each page to which the change will cascade. (Kristen, please correct me if I'm wrong about this)
If you would like to suggest a change to the base resource of a subscription electronic resource, please e-mail or call Mary Ellen.

Yes, everything Mary Ellen said is correct. Changing a base intance of a resource will cascade those changes to every subject guide where the deault description is used, regardless of whether or not the user editing the resource has permission to edit the affected subject guide.
