Service Details

Description

SUNCAT is the Serials Union Catalogue for the UK research community, delivered by EDINA on behalf of Jisc.

SUNCAT enables researchers, students, librarians and others to locate serials held in libraries across the UK. The catalogue contains information on print and electronic serials, and serials in other formats, including journals, periodicals, newspapers, newsletters, magazines, annual reports and other publications of a continuing nature.

The coverage of SUNCAT is steadily increasing, with serials information from more than 100 libraries of the most significant research libraries in the UK, including the national libraries (the British Library, and the National Libraries of Scotland and Wales), the copyright libraries, most of the larger universities, key specialist libraries and the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ). Serials records from CONSER and the ISSN Register are also included for use by Contributing Libraries.
SUNCAT is also a central source of quality bibliographic records. Libraries contributing to SUNCAT can download records in MARC format to upgrade their local catalogues. Non-Contributing Libraries are also able to download records, but not in MARC21.
