SUNCAT Blog

SUNCAT is the Serials Union CATalogue for the UK research community.

SUNCAT is a free EDINA service enabling researchers, librarians and others to locate serials held in libraries throughout the UK. The catalogue contains information on both print and electronic serials, including journals, periodicals, newspapers, newsletters, magazines, annual reports and other publications of a continuing nature.

SUNCAT currently contains serials' information from over 70 UK research libraries, including the British Library and the National Libraries of Scotland and Wales. New libraries continue to be added to the catalogue on a regular basis.

Locations on SUNCAT

SUNCAT has made a change to the way results are displayed following a successsful search or browse on the catalogue. In addition to the serial title, author and year of publication information, a list of the libraries holding each title now displays on the results screen. This enhancement allows users to see at a glance which libraries hold a title, helping them to identify and filter records of interest more quickly. The full record display continues to contain more detailed location and summary holdings information. Let us know if you have any comments on the new display, either here, or by using the feedback link on the SUNCAT interface.
