• UCD began to recruit for a Cataloging Specialist with Chinese language expertise (job posting)

• UCSD: despite our hiring pause, we got approval to recruit for an assistant director of Metadata Services. We hope to post the job ad in the next couple of weeks

• UCSD: OCLC changed their SFTP so it now requires SHA-224 connections and as a result, Alma is not able to connect and get the WorldCat update files. Gem asked me to submit a help request to OCLC since we are using the CUS account for the files. She is now trying get it sorted out between Ex Libris and OCLC. No files have been loaded since 9/6.

• UCB:

  • New document: Holdings record field coding

  • Working to schedule all vendor imports, including scheduling jobs to link records to the NZ

    • What is the criteria for linking a record to the NZ?
