SUNCAT - Serials Union CATalogue for the UK research community

EDINA is proud to announce that The National Archives is our one hundredth Contributing Library. Just over 1600 serials records from The National Archives Library have been added to the database.

The National Archives (http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/), located at Kew in Richmond, Surrey, is the UK government's official archive. Its collection of over 11 million historical government and public records is one of the largest in the world. From Domesday Book to modern government papers and digital files, the collection includes paper and parchment, electronic records and websites, photographs, posters, maps, drawings and paintings.
The National Archives' present aim is to collect and secure the future of the government record, both digital and physical, to preserve it for generations to come, and to make it as accessible and available as possible (http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/about/who-we-are.htm).

The reference-only Library at The National Archives has a collection of books, periodicals and directories on history (including local, family and military history), law, biography, genealogy, as well as a wide range of reference material (http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/librarycatalogue/)

 A number of electronic reference resources are also available.

The National Art library uses Koha open-source Integrated Library System, the first library using this system to be added to SUNCAT

Reaching 100 Contributing Libraries
(http://www.suncat.ac.uk/description/contributing_libraries.html) is a landmark for SUNCAT highlighting it as the most comprehensive source of journal holding information in the UK. SUNCAT contains the holdings of all the UK legal deposit libraries; over 50 Higher Education Libraries from across England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, including all those of the Russell Group (http://www.russellgroup.ac.uk/our-universities/). It also has a range of specialist libraries covering a wide variety of disciplines including art; music; history; medicine; science; horticulture and the environment.

By incorporating information from all these libraries SUNCAT can help you uncover new or unique journals in a particular field, help you locate copies held closest to you or where you can apply for a copy of an article. The service can also highlight those journals which are widely held and more importantly where the one or two copies of more unusual titles are available.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our Contributors for working with us to keep SUNCAT as comprehensive, accurate and current as possible!

We are not stopping at 100 Libraries and are keen to add more UK Higher Education, Specialist and Public Libraries, so if you are interested in contributing please see our blog post at http://suncat.blogs.edina.ac.uk/2015/01/14/contributing-to-suncat-is-easy/
