Question: What Are The Benefits Of Union Catalogue?
Answer: With the existence of UC, bibliographic records created from a particular library can be shared by all participating libraries. This eventually save the time and effort in re-keying bibliographic record for the same collection. Any library that joins the UC will tap into the comprehensive database for information sharing automatically instead of catalogue their collection from scratch. With UC, the holdings information for all participating libraries are available for public query from single search through Online Public Access Catalogue (OPAC) which is more efficient compared to searching individual libraries' websites.
