Question: How does the Union Catalogue in Sarawak come about?

Answer: Traditionally, most of the libraries in Malaysia dan Sarawak build up and maintain their collection information individually within their own organisation. This applies to both library with and without a computerised library management system. Therefore, when it comes to the point of information sharing, there are issues from data to system that need to be addressed among the libraries before the information can be made available to the public easily.

As the initiative to facilitate the required information sharing across the State, the Union Catalogue concept is introduced and implemented in year 2000. This concept allows bibliographic records created by various participating libraries to be stored and consolidated in a centralised repository through the use of Angka.Sa2 Library Management System.
