SCP Update – October 2020
For the detailed list of net increase or decrease of titles from CDL licensed and selected open access collections, see the distribution statistics report for September 2020.
SCP Overview
Monthly Updates
SCP made further changes to the format of the SCP update suggested by John Kratz and Rachael Hu of CDL User Experience Design Service based on the survey we conducted last summer. We hope that it is easier to read. We welcome your feedback.
The following chart and table show the overall SCP cataloging activities and workload in September. The total accumulated records SCP manages is also included. In the September chart below, the number of new and withdrawn serial records largely reflects the serials phase II project of switching bibliographic records for print format to online format. The number of new monographic records includes the distribution of 10,801 titles of the Project Muse eBook collection, a new package. The updates in monographic records are mostly from OCLC daily updates received, with enriched metadata such as subject heading(s) and/or other access point(s) added, records upgraded to full level, etc.

Cataloging Note
Routine cataloging by SCP may be delayed due to the migration to SILS, cataloging of new acquisitions, and reduced capacity due to the COVID-19 work from home recommendation. If a package is delayed over three months, or you have concerns regarding access to CDL content, please report to the CDL Helpline. Thank you for your patience and understanding during this time.

CDL Helpline
Please report to CDL Helpline on
- Cataloging Delays (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.
