COPAC update: new libraries available
COPAC is an internationally accessible catalogue giving unified access to some of the largest university research library collections in the UK and Ireland. A new release of COPAC has just been made available containing a number of changes:
New libraries:
The online catalogues of two more libraries are now available on COPAC:
- The Imperial College of Science, Technology, and Medicine
- The University of London Library
Local data:
More local data is available, e.g. details of which branches of a library have copies of a document.
Improved currency:
Update files are being added as they are supplied by the libraries, ensuring the currency of the database. On the Web Interface a Library Update page is changed automatically whenever new records are loaded into COPAC, allowing you to check when records were last added for a particular library.
Extended search facilities:
You can now search for:
- a specific library e.g. Cambridge
- a much wider range of languages
Web Interface only - Download record display:
When carrying out a Web Interface search you can now choose between the usual Brief Display and a Download Display. The latter displays 100 records at a time, in a format designed for easy incorporation of the records into personal bibliographic software. You can use your browser's own download facility to save the records.
It is already possible to download records via email in the Text Interface.
