ITT Background
– “The key users of the SUNCAT catalogue are
expected to be researchers at all levels, inside and
outside of UK Higher Education, for whom the
catalogue will provide a mechanism for
identifying the location of holdings of serials of
interest to them held outside their home
institution. The catalogue is also expected to have
applicability for learning, particularly at
undergraduate level but also beyond into the life
long learning context. For librarians and
contributing libraries SUNCAT will provide a
centralised catalogue of high quality
bibliographic records for serials held in UK
libraries, and a mechanism whereby they can
replace their own local records with standardised
high quality records obtained from the central
database.”
