Copac Update
(with apologies for cross-posting)
National Library of Scotland load complete
We have completed the load of National Library of Scotland (NLS)
catalogue onto Copac. This enhances the range of materials available
on Copac, particularly those relating to the study of Scotland and the
Scots. Most documents are for reference use within NLS only, but those
with the classmark prefix 'ILS' are available for inter-library
loan. At the moment a significant proportion of the loanable stock is
not recorded in the NLS main catalogue, so will not be visible on
Copac either, but the ILS collection contains items published in
Scotland or about Scotland.
Interface Upgrade
In October we carried out an upgrade to the Copac interface. This
introduced some minor changes to the Copac screens, the most
significant being a change to the appearance of the Brief Record
display. We changed the layout slightly and introduced an explicit
link from each Brief Record to the Full Record display for that
item. You can also still use the record number to link from the Brief
Record to the Full Record display. In addition, the upgrade introduced
behind-the-scenes changes to enhance system response to some queries.
If you have any questions about these developments, or about the Copac
service in general, contact the Copac Helpdesk
