ProQuest Early English books online monographs: Kate Garvey-Clasby did a major update by removing the existing 129,009 titles and loaded a new set of 130,753 vendor records. The many updated records included enriched data and/or link to the scanned images. A special file is posted with specific instructions for campuses to update this collection locally. All new records now contain a ProQuest control number in MARC tag 001 with a prefix “eebo” (sometimes this is an OCLC number for the microfilm version of a title; sometimes it is a vendor control number). No OCLC holdings attached to any titles in this collection, the same as the records for this collection before this update.
CDL eScholarship online monographs: the initial batch of 1,455 titles in the eScholarship monographs collection was distributed to campuses on Monday, July 2, 2018. Donal O’Sullivan, Kate Garvey-Clasby, and Becky Culbertson spent several months planning and strategizing, working with Lisa Schiff and her colleagues at CDL as well as in consultation with OCLC staff. Donal, especially, finalized the strategies and developed the MarcEdit task list to identify and convert CDL mass digitization records into MARC 21 records in OCLC in batch. Thanks to all of them for getting this complicated project done by the deadline. This is an open access collection representing the academic output of some UC faculty and staff. The collection is ongoing and will be updated on a quarterly basis.
