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.
