De Montfort University - New SUNCAT Contributing Library


We are pleased to announce that the serials records of De Montfort University have just been added to SUNCAT. This is the third new SUNCAT Contributing Library this year and takes the total number of libraries to 87, plus CONSER, ISSN and the DOAJ. There are now over 7 million serials records in SUNCAT.

De Montfort University (DMU) is based in Leicester, located in the heart of England. It is a teaching and research institution, with four faculties offering 400 diverse undergraduate and postgraduate subjects. The role of the DMU Library Service is to support learning, teaching, research and scholarship across the University, and so provides access to a wide range of learning resources. Just under 184,000 serial records, for both print and electronic titles, have been loaded into SUNCAT.
