About our Bibliographic Union Catalog

The IRIS Consortium OPAC, using Aleph500 software, offers a bibliographic union catalog (IRS01).

The bibliographic union catalog contains records for more than 375,000 titles, including monographs, journals, rare and early books (including titles printed before 1500), auction catalogs, academic dissertations, music scores, offprints, collection-level guide records to photographic archives, and non-print media (microfiche, microfilms, CD-ROMs, videos, and sound recordings).
More than 24,000 auction catalog records have been added to the bibliographic union catalog in January, 2013. They are mainly focussed on auctions of art objects, while including notable sales of armour and arms, books and manuscripts, coins and medals, music scores and musical instruments, and the minor and decorative arts.
The titles available in the IRS01 catalog represent the entire patrimony of each IRIS member library.
Further enriching the IRS01 catalog is the presence of a significant number of in-analytics (records for individual articles from a number of specialized journals and conference proceedings). The following is a check-list, divided by library and its specific holdings, of the analyzed journal titles.

• Analyzed journals (INR)
