Copac update: Copac+ESTC Trial Interface
[With apologies for cross-posting]
A new Copac+ESTC Trial Interface carries out a combined search of the
Copac database plus the English Short Title Catalogue (ESTC) database at
the British Library. The records retrieved from ESTC are merged into a
single result set with the results from the Copac database. In the Copac
'Main search' screen ESTC is included in the 'Libraries' list field.
Thus it is possible to restrict a search to ESTC alone, or combine it
with one or more other libraries eg. ESTC and the Register of
Preservation Surrogates.
Access the Copac+ESTC Trial Interface from the Copac home page at:
http://copac.ac.uk/
Please send any comments on the trial interface to the Copac helpdesk

Copac gives access to the merged online catalogues of many major UK and
Irish academic libraries, the UK National libraries, and increasing
numbers of specialist collections.
The ESTC catalogue includes details of materials published between
c.1473 and 1800, largely English language publications from Britain and
America. Details and ESTC catalogue access at:
