Change to Records in MERLIN

As of Saturday, July 28, we will no longer be getting MARC Records from Serials Solutions/Proquest as we have been for the past several years. This means we will be getting our MARC records from another source, mostly OCLC, and swapping these records out over the next month. This will mean that the MERLIN catalog will not always be accurate on any given day as this is a project to replace several hundred thousand records. EDS and the new Full-Text Finder will be accurate for our serials and database holdings during this time. If you have issues, please use these resources before emailing me with questions. Once we have everything sorted, I will send an email to let everyone know. Thanks for your patience while we work through this,

By now you have likely heard that the Catalog Management unit is no longer and Wayne will not be returning to the University Libraries.  First and foremost, I want to say that cataloging is still an important function to the Libraries.  If you have projects or workflows that involved Catalog Management or Wayne, please send them to me for now.  I will then work with the appropriate members of my team to get the work done and/or add it to the list of projects for the future.  We will be working through things the best we can, but it will take some time.  Please bear with us.  Thank you for your attention and understanding,
