From the OECD iLibrary collection, approximately 478 titles were removed because they were no longer available. Attempts to contact OECD were unsuccessful and more details are in this known issues page. If you encounter unavailable titles, please report them through CDL Helpline.
OA Mono Pilot Project Update:
As a reminder to UC staff, CDL has an ongoing pilot project to add individual OA monographs to the NZ for systemwide access. This is a two year pilot that began in January 2025, and we are approximately halfway through. The request form can be found on the CDL website and is available directly at Adding Individual OA Monographic Titles. For these books, campus catalogers are asked to ensure the title is cataloged in OCLC and submit the OCLC# and URL to CDL via the form, for CDL to add and manage in the NZ.
To date, 188 OA monographs have been added to the NZ for systemwide access through this pilot! We also remind campuses that if they would like to submit a bulk list, you can contact rculbertson@ucsd.edu directly without using the request form.
As a reminder, any request for a collection of books over 10 titles has always been available to submit to CDL for CDL cataloging via the Cataloging a New Collection request form. Requests for activating CZ open access collections can also be requested to CDL via this form. Other useful forms include requests for Cataloging Individual OA Journal Titles, and Adding Individual CalDocs Titles (CalDocs must also already be cataloged in OCLC).
Highlights on other activities
Due to how the vendor digitizes issues, journals in the Biodiversity Heritage Library collections may have gaps in coverage and long holdings statements in UC Library Search. CDL is aware of this, Ex Libris and BHL are not able to make adjustments to these holdings statements. CDL is considering options; however, overriding the holdings with blanket coverage statements would make them inaccurate and potentially result in false availability in the catalog.
ASME ebooks have been cleaned up and reorganized in the NZ. If users encounter any issues, please submit a ticket to CDL Helpline.
