> You are invited to attend a workshop being run by SUNCAT, the Serials
> Union CATalogue for the UK, http://www.suncat.ac.uk
>
> SUNCAT is the most comprehensive source of information about the
> location of serials held in libraries throughout the UK. SUNCAT
> currently contains records from nearly 50 UK libraries, the CONSER
> database and the ISSN Register. Contributing libraries include the
> British Library, the National Libraries of Scotland and Wales, some of
> the largest Higher Education institutions across the UK and an
> increasing number of specialist and public libraries. For a full list
> of the contributing libraries please see
> http://www.suncat.ac.uk/about/who.html
>
> SUNCAT will soon also be a central repository of high-quality
> bibliographic records which contributing libraries may download to
> upgrade their local catalogues.
>
> The content of the workshops will reflect SUNCAT's move from project
> phase to fully fledged service as of the 1st August this year and we
> would encourage a range of library staff to attend to learn more about
> how SUNCAT may be embedded as a key resource for your institution's
> academics, researchers and library staff.
>
