Also working on : bound-withs, copy-specific information.

Updates from UCLA: start project to describe Islamic manuscripts that have not been well described. Hired collections assistant to oversee that project.
TJ - CZ issue in adding OCLC number; hope that group will press ExLibris to address/remove.
UCSF recently had emergency preparedness consultation; sparked a conversation, since won't have preservation librarian, about whether or not can have official agreement with other UC libraries that do have preservation labs so UCSF can send materials to UCB or UCLA for preservation
UCB has preservation staff, but short staffed and treatment is being deferred
Clark/UCLA as an affiliated library does have to pay UCLA preservation lab, so there is precedent for paying for preservation work
UCD / UCLA has some kind of official agreement. Maybe something that whole system could consider.
UCLA's preservation department has gained a couple new people. Working at more limited capacity and now working on their own backlog.
Randy and Abigail will send contact information for preservation people to Cat.
Additional announcements
OCLC can provide mapping for LCSH to other national libraries heading; National Library of Spain does have mapping in their subject headings so may be able to do it Record Manager in future
