Short description of the institution :
Brief history and missions:
In 1992 four leading Polish academic libraries began building UAF - Union Authority File (coordinated and controlled by CFAF - the Center for Formats and Authority Files at the University of Warsaw Library from 1996 to 2001). In 1998 the A. W. Mellon Foundation awarded a grant for the establishment of NUKAT union catalog. In 2001 CFAF was transformed into NUKAT Center and the cooperative cataloging was started in July 2002 with UAF becoming a part of NUKAT database. NUKAT contributors have grown from 27 libraries building and using NUKAT data in 2002 to 130 libraries in June 2013. NUKAT objectives are: - 1) provide library users with quick and detailed information on Polish library holdings and their location, 2) facilitate and accelerate cataloging by offering libraries a source of ready high-quality records built by means of shared cataloging. NUKAT provides information on nearly all types of resources held by Polish research libraries.
