The Union Catalog
View through CrossRef
Abstract
My interest in union catalogs (or, rather, “union OPACs”) began when nine academic libraries in Lodz Poland, started to implement a single, integrated library system. We were sure that after the successful implementation of the automation system at our libraries, we would provide users not only with nine separate OPACs but also with one access point that would serve all library catalogues. What is more, the question of how the union catalog would be created was one of the most important questions posed by our sponsor-The A. W. Mellon Foundation. What at first seemed to be an easy task became more complicated as time passed.
