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.

OpenURL linking

We have added a "Find a Copy" button to the full record display on SUNCAT. The button leads users to their local OpenURL resolver and hence to options for full text access depending on their entitlement or to alternatives such as Inter-Library loan services at their local institution.

The button will direct users with no registered OpenURL resolver to the general resolver, GetCopy. In order for your users to be directed to their local OpenURL resolver please ensure that it is registered with the OpenURL router.
