* Tate Library (Tate Britain) loaded
The complete catalogue of the Tate Library (Tate Britain) has now been
loaded on Copac. The library covers British art since 1500 and
international art since 1900. The focus is on fine art in the Western
tradition, although coverage is being extended to other regions. The
collections' emphasis is on modern and contemporary art. The library
holds over 40,000 books, 140,000 exhibition catalogues and many rare
items in its special collections. The records have been added as part of
the Copac Challenge Fund.
* New libraries to be added
Eight new libraries are to be added to Copac giving researchers access
to more valuable and fascinating resources.
Records will be added from:
- Chetham's Library
- Henry Moore Institute
- University of Reading Special Collections
- Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow
- Royal College of Surgeons of England
- French Institute

Challenge Fund, an initiative funded by RLUK, the Research Information
Network and the British Library. Further information about the Challenge
