Catherine: Met with Gem and Erez from EL to discuss metadata workflows and pain points; UCSB’s new Technical Services Librarian, Annette Doss, starts on Sep 16, 2025

Tricia: mentioned hearing about SILS meetings being open to non-members and wonders if others have as well - Catherine can bring this to her Chairs Slack Channel to see if this can be discussed further.

Hermine: SLSF interviews are happening at UCLA this week. No changes to location names until the position is finalized.

was directed to creating a ticket for all issues, but still a good opportunity to talk. Mentioned database records in CZ and UC policy to not suppress them. Gem noted that she is creating a lot of Idea Exchanges this year, so feel free to pass on to her.

From parking lot: Tweak WDU config (contingent upon SCP’s cleanup progress); does this need discussion in light of SCP plans with OCLC holdings?

Discussion points:

Vast majority (74%) of shared electronic resources are managed through 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 ERM holdings in OCLC is increasing SCP workload.

Provide written feedback to SCPAC regarding these issues, to be worked on by those in meeting who were interested in weighing in: Catherine, Hermine, Jared.

Continue review and prioritization for 2025-2026

5 min.

All

Separated out the work marked as Done.

  • Does this help better with navigation?

Can anything else be marked as DONE?

Is anything missing? Should anything from agenda parking lot be added to workplan? Is there anything on the Roadmap that we want to incorporate?

Should anything be dropped/put on hold?

What are our priorities for this year? Expected completion dates?

Priorities:

  • Authority Control jobs

  • Jared to check in with Discovery team about Suppress from Discovery Network functionality

  • Address local 95X-99X fields in the NZ - continuing with adding norm rules for incoming records

  • Policy for rectifying NZ bib with incorrect OCN due to erroneous change - already have a draft in progress
