Update on Springer Collection: Based on a helpline request on Thursday, November 14, from UCB, SCP was informed that Springer had changed their openURL syntax from ‘springerlink.com’ to ‘link.springer.com.’ This change affects 8,300+ URLs in the PID server and a further 1,277 records in the campus catalogs. Our cataloger took this opportunity to instead convert all of the OpenURLs to DOIs. The catalog records were distributed on November 25th in the regular distribution file.

Please report to CDL Helpline on
• Cataloging Delay (if more than three months): A title might have been missed on the vendor title list, UC-eLinks (SFX) might have not yet been activated, OCLC record might have not been available yet, to name a few things that cause cataloging delays. It usually takes about two-three months for OCLC records to become available or for items to become available for SFX activation when new titles are added to an existing collection.
• Cataloging Errors: Please include the OCLC Number (preferred), ISSN, or ISBN in the ‘Record Locator’ section of the form.

Holiday closure: Due to UCSD holiday closure, SCP will post the last SCP files for the 2019 calendar year on Monday, December 16. Weekly file distribution will then resume on Monday, January 6, 2020. We wish you and your family a wonderful holiday season!
