Union Catalogs
Union Catalogs of the World at Info Connect is a listing, sorted by place, of union catalogs. They are also looking for submissions of catalogs they have missed to add to the listing.
As long as the union catalogs being submitted, are in electronic format such as CD-ROM access or Internet access, and provide access to at least 5 large libraries, all URls sent will be added to this web page. The libraries in the union catalog can be part of a town, city, county, region, consortium, network, state, province or country etc.
