Using the Merritt preservation repository at the California Digital Library and UC’s Dash data sharing service, the Library is helping our researchers preserve and publish their valuable data.
OCLC will begin a 2 week project on Thursday, December 8th to re-index WorldCat for use with all applications and article-level records searchable in WorldCat.org. When complete, users will be able to search using full UTF-8 characters, resulting in improved discovery of non-Latin titles and articles. During this time patrons may experience situations where non-Latin titles (particularly Japanese and Arabic) do not appear in search results when searching on non-Latin script data. Searching on Latin script data when available as well as identifiers such as ISBNs will continue to retrieve these items. We apologize for any inconvenience and hope these interruptions will create minimal disruption to our users’ research.
Interlibrary Loan will be closed beginning Friday, December 16, 2016 and will reopen on Tuesday, January 3, 2017. ILL requests may be submitted between these dates, but they will not processed until January 3, 2017.
