Following discussions during the SCP advisory committee (SCP-AC) and the committee’s recommendation, SCP will suspend maintaining the UC -er OCLC holdings.

The vast majority (74%) of shared electronic resources are managed through the Ex Libris Alma Community Zone (CZ). CZ bibliographic records either lack OCLC numbers, have multiple OCLC numbers or have incorrect OCLC numbers (for example, the print OCLC number).

Only 26% of NZ e-resources are from WorldCat (with OCLC numbers).

With budget cuts and subscription cancellations, maintaining e-resource holdings in OCLC increases SCP workload.

The SCP Update is a compilation of the collaborative efforts of the CDL Acquisitions team, the Shared Cataloging Program team and the Electronic Resource Services Manager.
