Toby Steiner edited this page Mar 15, 2024 · 1 revision

Jisc's National Bibliographic Knowledgebase (short: Jisc NBK) is a library index that allows for searching for library materials across the UK. Known as a union catalogue, it allows for searching for a book or journal across all member libraries at once.

The NBK is the most complete aggregation of UK academic, national and specialist library metadata available. Our library hub cataloguing service brings you access to comprehensive bibliographic data, collated by us and made available free of charge to Jisc members and to libraries that contribute data to the NBK.
