Materials
The
new and current platforms of CDL-licensed ProQuest databases
will run in parallel, beginning the week of May 6, 2012. The
overlap period for locally licensed and systemwide licensed
resources is intended to begin the week of May 6, with a full
transition to the new platform for these resources on August 1
(tentative). To ease the transition, ProQuest has provided a
rich array of training materials for their new interface. OCLC
Print Archives Disclosure Pilot final report
Beginning
in late 2010, an ad hoc Coordinating Committee consisting of
several individuals who were active in the shared print (print
archiving) community began to explore ways in which libraries
could use OCLC features and services to disclose retention
commitments and support resource sharing for shared print
resources. A secondary goal of the project was to identify
ways in which OCLC systems and services could be enhanced
through future system development to support shared print
requirements in a more effective way.
Several
new monographic series agreements endorsed in April
The
Shared Monograph Planning Group is pleased to announce
fourteen (14) initiative statements from UC Bibliographer
groups to collaboratively collect monographic print series.
Each initiative statement contains a list of print series and
identifies a campus that has agreed to manage an ongoing print
subscription on behalf of the UC system of libraries. See

Shared Print Agreements and MOUs: Combined List for more
