Contributed Cataloging Unit

Mission Statement

The Contributed Cataloging Unit is responsible for materials needing original or difficult shared cataloging in all subject areas and formats. This new Unit was created by merging the Science and Social Science Cataloging Unit with the Humanities and Special Collections Cataloging Unit. In addition to provision of access to UF patrons for these materials in the library catalogs, the unit contributes new and upgraded bibliographic and authority records to the OCLC (WorldCat) database. Many of our members have special cataloging and liaison assignments with special formats and areas of the libraries as listed below.
